Summary Introduction
To analyze: The reason to choose a healthier way to feed at a lower or a higher trophic level due to biological magnification caused by the accumulation of toxins.
Introduction: The study of the life cycle includes the effect of the accumulation of the toxic effects of pesticides at each trophic level of the biological chain. The first organisms include the bacteria and other microorganisms, which

A)one level below
B) two levels above
C) that is the same as
D) one level above
Diphtheria (diphtheria) spread through direct contact and aerosolized expulsions. C. diphtheriae have 3 substrains generation times - gravis (60 minutes), intermedius (100 minutes), and mitis (180 minutes). The gravis substrain is the most virulent as the toxic effects of diphtheria occur the fastest. Explain this in the terms of C. diphtheriae’s requirement for iron.
Antacids are sometimes taken to treat ulcers. Given what you've learned about the pH environment that H. pylori prefers, explain how antacids might help relieve the symptoms of an ulcer.
