Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The use of living organisms to detoxify and restore polluted and degraded (broken down) ecosystems.
A
bioremediation
B
bacteria
C
penicillin
D
protein
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bioremediation is a process that uses mainly microorganisms, plants, or microbial or plant enzymes to detoxify contaminants in the soil and other environments.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bioremediation uses micro-organisms to reduce pollution through the biological degradation of pollutants into non-toxic substances. This can involve either aerobic or anaerobic micro-organisms that often use this breakdown as an energy source.

Detailed explanation-3: -In bioremediation, microorganisms with biological activity, including algae, bacteria, fungi, and yeast, can be used in their naturally occurring forms.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bioremediation is an eco-friendly process of the degradation of toxic pollutants into nontoxic or less hazardous substances mediated by microbial enzymes. Biodegradation of various hazardous pollutants through the application of different enzymes from bacteria and fungi have been widely studied.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bioremediation is a managed or spontaneous process in which chemical reactions mediated by (micro)biological organisms degrade or transform contaminants to less toxic or nontoxic forms, thereby remedying or eliminating environmental contamination.
