II. Directions: Write True if the statement is correct and False if incorrect. Then change the underlined word/s to make the statement correct. Detoxify pollutants. 1. Bioremediation refers to the productive use of microorganisms to remove or detoxify pollutants. 2. Bioaugmentation is the addition of nutrients to kill the growth of innate oil-degrading microbes to increase the rate of remediation. 3. Industrial biotechnology, in particular, is the application of processes for the protection and restoration of the quality of the environment. 4. A biosensor is a device made up of a transducer and a biological element that may be an enzyme, an antibody, or a nucleic acid. 5. In-situ bioremediation means treating the contaminated soil on-site rather than moving it elsewhere for bioremediation.
