Key Stage 3

Meaning

Biomagnification is the build up of toxins along the food chain.

About Biomagnification

Biomagnification happens because, at each stage of the food chain, an organism may consume many organisms at a lower stage. If toxins are bioaccumulating in those organisms the concentration of toxins will increase as the toxin is passed up the food chain.
