Question 1

The use of microorganisms to clean a polluted environment is
◦ bioremediation.
◦ waste treatment.
◦ cooperation.
◦ genetic engineering.
◦ antagonism.

Question 2

In April 2010 an oil rig blowout resulted in a major crude oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. How was the majority of the crude oil cleaned out of the Gulf?
◦ Artificial bioremediation, crude-oil eating microbes were poured into the ocean.
◦ Humans collected the oil from the surface of the water and along the coastline.
◦ Natural bioremediation by microbes already present in the ocean.
◦ Both human collection of oil and artificial bioremediation.
◦ The crude oil still has not been cleaned up.
