Final answer:

Biomagnification is the process of toxins accumulating in organisms at higher trophic levels, potentially harming those that consume them.


Explanation:

Biomagnification is the process where toxins accumulate and become more concentrated in organisms at higher trophic levels. This leads to higher concentrations of toxins in animals at the top of the food chain, posing risks to both animals and humans consuming them. For example, the bioaccumulation of heavy metals like mercury in fish can result in harmful levels of toxins for humans.
