Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of using biological systems to monitor pollution in situ?

  • To estimate the effects of pollutants on organisms (correct)
  • To identify the types of pollutants present in the environment
  • To analyze the potential environmental risks of pollutants
  • To determine the concentration of pollutants accurately
  • Which of the following best defines bioindicators?

  • Whole organisms representative of their environment to estimate the effects of pollutants (correct)
  • Technology that incorporates biological sensing elements for real-time analysis
  • Biological systems used to accurately determine pollution concentrations
  • Physiological, biochemical, and molecular characteristics of organisms affected by pollutants
  • What do biomarkers represent in terms of pollution monitoring?

  • Technology used for determining potential environmental risks of pollutants
  • Physiological characteristics chosen for accurate pollutant concentration determination
  • Whole organisms that indicate the types of pollutants present in an environment
  • Characteristics of organisms affected by pollutants and removed from the environment (correct)
  • Why can't chemical techniques alone determine the real effect of pollution on organisms?
