10 Questions
Bioremediation is a process that uses only plants to return the polluted environment to its original state.
False
Bioremediation relies on stimulating the growth of certain microbes that use contaminants like oil and pesticides as a source of nutrients and energy.
True
The principle of bioremediation is that microorganisms can only be used to contain hazardous contaminants.
False
Effective bioremediation requires a combination of the right factors such as temperature and nutrients.
True
The stages of biodegradation include isolation of the microorganism, purification of the obtained isolates, and determination of the biodegradation efficiency.
True
Bioremediation is a completely natural process with almost no harmful side effects
True
Bioremediation can be carried out in situ for most applications with no dangerous transport
True
The rate of biodegradation generally increases with the decreasing temperature
False
Bioremediation relies on stimulating the growth of certain microbes that use contaminants like oil and pesticides as a source of nutrients and energy
True
Bioremediation is not cost effective compared to incineration and landfilling
