The following definition best defines biomagnification: a substance that increases in concentration with trophic level. Correct answer: C It denotes the increased concentration of toxic substances (such as a pollutant or pesticide) with each step in a food chain. In this process toxins are concentrated in an organism as larger animals continue to eat smaller animals.
