1

When organisms produce large numbers of reproductive cells (such as pollen, sperm and eggs) or reproductive structures (such as flowers and fruit), these ensure that reproduction is likely to be successful.
The unsuccessful cells and structures are recycled into the ecosystem. They are usually used as nutrients for animals or microorganisms.

Put the steps of the eutrophication process in order.

Arrastra la opción correcta a cada uno de los puntos naranjas

Farmer puts fertiliser on his field

Fertilisers run off into water sources

The extra minerals cause an algal bloom

Algae cover surface, blocking the sun

plants below cannot photosynthesise

Microbes decompose the dead plants

Microbes require oxygen for respiration

increased levels of microbes uses up O2

Fish cannot respire as no oxygen

All the fish in the water die

is when toxins build up in a food chain. The animals at the of the food chain are affected most severely.

This is what happens:

1.Small amounts of toxic substances - often from activity - are taken up by plants.

2.These plants are eaten by consumers.

3.The primary consumers are eaten by consumers, and the secondary consumers are by higher level consumers.

4.At each stage () of the food chain, harmless substances are excreted but the toxins remain in the tissues of the organisms - so the of toxin becomes most concentrated in the body tissues of the animals at the of the food chain.

An example of bioaccumulation is the use of DDT as an in the 1950s and 1960s. Birds of prey were badly affected because it made the shells of their eggs very , causing them to break easily when the birds tried to incubate them.
