Question

what term do we use to describe when organisms accumulate pollutants in their organs at levels greater than those present in the environment?
reunification
persistence
resistance
bioaccumulation

Explanation:

• Reunification refers to the process of uniting, not related to pollutant accumulation.
• Persistence is about how long a pollutant remains in the environment, not accumulation in organisms.
• Resistance is an organism's ability to withstand stress, not pollutant accumulation.
• Bioaccumulation is the process where organisms accumulate substances (like pollutants) in their tissues at levels higher than in the environment.

Answer:

D. bioaccumulation
