Are the substances that accumulate in organisms fat- soluble or water-soluble

Please Explain


GREATLY APPRECIATED THANKS so much for taking your time to answer this =D

I couldn't say for sure that it is 100 percent of the time but fat soluble should stay in the body much longer. It probably has more to do with not being destroyed or metabolized by the cytochrome enzymes which often make them more water soluble by the way by adding an oxygen atom and making it more polar. There is no efficient way to remove non water soluble substances from the body. Water soluble compounds will likely be removed by the kidneys if they are not reabsorbed. The same should be true if you are talking about bioaccumulation or biomagnification.

usually, substances accumulate in adipose, or fat tissue, so they are fat-soluble. Water-soluble substances are filtered out by the kidneys and excreted in urine or sweat. That is why it is dangerous for someone who has been exposed to toxins to lose weight quickly because the toxins will be released into the body instead of being built-up.
