Doctors use biosensors in the medical field to test for:
A
Mental illness.
B
Headaches.
C
Strep throat.
D
Fractures.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In medical field. In the discipline of medical science, the applications of biosensors are growing rapidly. Glucose biosensors are widely used in clinical applications for diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, which requires precise control over blood-glucose levels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Piezoelectric biosensors produce an electrical signal when a mechanical force is applied. They can be used for label-free detection of specific nucleic acid sequences for antibiotics detection in food.

Detailed explanation-3: -The glucose meters of various modifications for monitoring patients’ blood glucose levels at home are an example of the most common modern biosensors. The glucose oxidase or glucose dehydrogenase enzymes are used as a biosensing component. They are immobilized on the surface of the electrode and break down glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -These biosensors incorporate plant tissue and bacteria that act as the recognition components. The enzymes exist in the tissue of bacteria, and the electrode works in a similar way as an enzyme electrode.
