Certain marine organisms concentrate within their tissues many substances, including pollutants found in small concentrations in seawater in a process called bioaccumulation. Due to this process a second process called biomagnification occurs. Biomagnification is: (Select all that apply) The magnification of the effects of toxins in smaller animals When animals eat other animals' substances (including toxic chemicals) move up the food chain and become concentrated in their tissue A process that makes higher trophic level fish potentially dangerous to eat in large quantities The magnification of the effects of toxins in larger animals
