Q. DDT residues are rapidly passed through food chain causing biomagnification because DDT is

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

DDT residues are rapidly passed through the food chain causing biomagnification because DDT is liposoluble. Biomagnification, also known as bioamplification or biological magnification, is the increase in the concentration of a substance, such as a pesticide DDT, that occurs in a food chain as a consequence of persistence (slow to be broken down by environmental processes).
