Summary Introduction
To analyze: The reason to choose a healthier way to feed at a lower or a higher trophic level due to biological magnification caused by the accumulation of toxins.
Introduction: The study of the life cycle includes the effect of the accumulation of the toxic effects of pesticides at each trophic level of the biological chain. The first organisms include the bacteria and other microorganisms, which

Based on the text on mosquitoes eating:
1.Identify abiotic factors that support the survival and reproduction of the mosquitoes and why the pest needs this factors
