Question
which of these is an element that can bioaccumulate and lead to biomagnification? oxygen argon hydrogen mercury
Brief Explanations
Biomagnification occurs when substances like heavy metals (e.g., mercury) accumulate in organisms at higher trophic levels. Mercury is a heavy metal that can bioaccumulate (build - up in an organism) and biomagnify (increase in concentration up the food chain). Oxygen, argon, and hydrogen are common, non - toxic elements that do not bioaccumulate in a harmful way to cause biomagnification.
