what is the effect of pollution to the life cycle organisms?


Sagot :

Answer:

When toxic chemicals and metals enter the environment, organisms may absorb them through their skin or ingest them in their food or water. Animals higher in the food chain accumulate these toxins in higher and higher concentrations, a process called biomagnification.

Ocean pollution comes in many forms, but the largest factor affecting the oceans is plastic. Plastic kills fish, birds, marine mammals and sea turtles, destroys habitats and even affects animals' mating rituals, which can have devastating consequences and can wipe out entire species.
