which organism in the food web above would most likely have the highest concentration of accumulated substances like ddt, mercury, etc.?
○ grass
○ owl
○ mouse
○ snake

Explanation:

In a food web, biomagnification occurs where toxic substances like DDT or mercury accumulate more in organisms at higher trophic levels. Grass is a producer (lowest trophic level), mouse and snake are consumers at lower/middle levels, while owl is a top predator (highest trophic level), so it accumulates the most toxins.

Answer:

B. owl
