  1. Bio amplification Importance Of minimising pollutions • Is the increase in the concentration of a substance as it moves up a food chain resulted by • Un-biodegradable • Low or no degradation/excretion of substance • Substances that bio magnify • Not biodegradable • lipophilic We must protect the world we live in, we want our grandchildren to be able to see how beautiful the world is, so lets work together and save our ecosystem Ecosystem Bioremediation Bio-accumulation The use of microorganism metabolism to remove pollutions from the environment Can occur naturally or artificially Refers to the accumulation of substance in an organism Occurs when an organism takes in a substance faster than the rate it excrete it

  2. Bio Indicators -Species used to monitor the status of the ecosystem -Provides clues about the ecosystem by the absence or presence of certain plant life -Increase or decrease may indicate damage to the ecosystem Microorganisms or macroinvertebrate can be used to indicate the status of a water body or river.
