Phenomenon involving increase in concentration of non-degradable pollutants from lower to higher trophic levels is called
biomagnification
bioaccumulation
biodegradation
bioinvasion
A.
biomagnification
Biomagnification is the increase in concentration of the toxicant at successive trophic level. It happens because a toxic substance accumulated by on organism cannot be metabolised or excreted and is thus passed on to the next higher trophic level.
Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of substances such as pesticides or other chemicals in an organism.
Biodegradation is the chemical dissolution of organic matter by bacteria, fungi or other biological means into nutrients that can be used by other organisms.
Bioinvasion is the rapid expansion of a species into regions where it had not previously existed, often as a result of human agency.
During sewage treatment, biogases are produced, which include
methane, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide
methane, oxygen and hydrogen sulphide
hydrogen sulphide, methane and sulphur dioxide
hydrogen sulphide, nitrogen and methane
During waste water treatment, trickling filter is used for
primary treatment
secondary aerobic treatment
secondary anaerobic treatment
tertiary treatment
Relationship between DO and BOD is that they
are directly proportional
are inversely proportional
are not related
always remain equal to each other
'Kyoto Protocol' is a multination international treaty for
phasing out green house gases
controlling ozone destroying substances
management of hazardous wastes
conservation of biodiversity
With the rise of water temperature, dissolved oxygen
remains unchanged
increases in amount
decreases in amount
is more available to the aquatic organisms
Global warming can be controlled by
Reducing deforestation, cutting down use of fossil fuel
Reducing reforestation, increasing the use of fossil fuel
Increasing deforestation, slowing down the growth of human population
Increasing deforestation, reducing efficiency of energy usage
