Transcriptomic analyses help determine which genes are active in the cell.

TRUE

FALSE

Ecotoxicology is an applied science that:

Examines the interaction of organisms within their ecosystems without considering pollutants.

Analyses only chemical pollutants in industrial areas.

Focuses only on the effects of toxic substances on humans.

Combines toxicology and ecology to study environmental pollution and its effects.

Metagenomics is used to analyse the genetic diversity of microorganisms only in aquatic ecosystems.

TRUE

FALSE

Metabolite profiling can show the effects of environmental stresses on the organism.

FALSE

TRUE

Which of the Omics technologies is used to identify and quantify proteins in a cell?

Metabolomics

Genomics

Transcriptomics

Proteomics

Omics techniques require multiple samples for genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics analyses.

TRUE

FALSE

Metabolomics focuses on the analysis of genes involved in the cell's energy production.

TRUE

FALSE

The discovery of DDT's impact on the eggshells of American bald eagles in the mid-twentieth century was unrelated to the development of ecotoxicology as a scientific field.

TRUE

FALSE

Ecotoxicology combines the fields of toxicology and ecology to identify, analyse, and predict the effects of environmental pollutants on living organisms and ecosystems.

FALSE

TRUE

The metabolomics analysis is performed on a set of:

Small molecules that are synthesized by cellular catabolic reaction

Macromolecules that are synthesized by cellular catabolic reaction

Macromolecules that are intermediates or end products of cellular metabolic pathways

Small molecules that are intermediates or end products of cellular metabolic pathways
