b. compound contamination

c. biomagnification

d. threshold effect

e. carcinogenesis

Biomagnification

Explanation:

Biomagnification is the process by which substances (mostly harmful ones) accumulated in the bodies of some animals increases in the bodies of higher animals which feed on these animals along the food chain. This process causes small quantities of harmful substances to reach toxic levels in higher animals.

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
