3Question 3.
What is bioturbation?
- A chemical process

4Question 4.
True or False: Bioturbation has no effect on chemical transport.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how organisms interact with sediments.
Question 5.
Analyze how bioturbation in a coastal environment might differ from that in a riverine environment. Discuss the implications for sediment quality and contaminant movement.
Show hintHide hint
Think about sediment types and their interactions with water.
Question 6.
Design an experiment to measure the effects of bioturbation on contaminant release in a controlled laboratory setting. What variables would you consider?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how to simulate natural conditions in your setup.
