Why do some researchers argue for a major focus of research on microbial ecology and microbial ...

Answer to q. 1

We have barely begun to comprehend the vast number of microbial species and to understand their importance. Without knowing the profound ways in which microbes contribute to the ecosystem, we may lose valuable species without even knowing it.

Crucial roles by microbes include ammonia-oxidizing. Bacteria play an essential role in the nitrogen cycle by converting ammonia in wastes and remains to nitrites. Without them, wastes would pile up and plants would not have access to the nitrogen they need to grow.

Answer to q. 2

Biological magnification is the concentration of toxins as they move up the food chain. Because predators must consume many prey items to survive, they absorb the toxins ingested by each of those prey organisms. The longest-lived animals are most susceptible because they have the most time to concentrate toxins. Humans are at very high risk, especially individuals who place themselves at the top of the food chain by eating meat. Toxins are stored in our fat, and nursing mothers secrete then into breast milk. (Breastfeeding is nevertheless a much healthier choice than bottle feeding.)
