In addition to wheat plants, a crop field ecosystem has organisms such as snake, peacock, eagle, and mice. If the wheat plants are sprayed with pesticides periodically, which of the following will have the minimum concentration of pesticides in the body?(a) snake (b) eagle (c) mice (d) peacock
Correct Answer: (c) mice
Explanation: In addition to wheat plants, a crop field ecosystem has organisms such as snake, peacock, eagle, and mice. If the wheat plants are sprayed with pesticides periodically, then mice, being in the lowest trophic level, will have the minimum concentration of pesticides in their body.

- Human body is made up of five important components, of which water is the main component. Food as well as potable water are essential for every human being. The food is obtained from plants through agriculture. Pesticides are being used extensively for a high yield in the fields. These pesticides are absorbed by the plants from the soil along with water and minerals and from the water bodies, these pesticides are taken up by the aquatic animals and plants. As these chemicals are not biodegradable, they get accumulated progressively at each trophic level. The maximum concentration of these chemicals gets accumulated in our bodies and greatly affects the health of our mind and body.(a) Why is the maximum concentration of pesticides found in human beings?(b) Give one method which could be applied to reduce our intake of pesticides through food to some extent.(c) Various steps in a food chain represent :(a) Food web (b) Trophic level (c) Ecosystem (d) Biomagnification (d) With regard to various food chains operating in an ecosystem, man is a:(a) Consumer (b) Producer (c) Producer and consumer (d) Producer and decomposer
