Just to give you a reminder, you only mentioneda type of biomagnification. Biomagnification is a process which does not only occur
with DDT. Which reactions are you mentioning? Are you asking about the effects of DDT on the overall cell metabolism, or are you asking about some
reaction which is involved in absorbing the DDT (which I know nothing about). Another hint, biomagnification as you mentioned it does not occur only
in the human body.
Here, the following site gives a clear definition of what biomagnification is (bioaccumulation is also mentioned, which is also important if
you're studying ecology). The site also mentions the clasical example of DDT.
