APFIVE Climate Change and Methylmercury Biomagnification
How does climate change potentially exacerbate the biomagnification of methylmercury in marine food chains?
A
By causing ocean acidification, which directly increases the toxicity of methylmercury
B
By increasing ocean temperatures, leading to higher metabolic rates and faster uptake of methylmercury in marine organisms
C
By increasing phytoplankton blooms, which absorb more methylmercury from the water
D
By altering ocean currents, concentrating methylmercury in specific regions
