QUESTION 3
Bioremediation is a branch of biotechnology that employs the use of living organisms to remove toxic substances; such as,
mercury, radioactive material, industrial waste, and the petroleum products of oil spills from the water and soil in our
environment. Here is a figure that shows the bacterial degradation of the poly-aromatic hydrocarbon, naphthalene. In this
figure showing the catabolic metabolism of naphthalene, would you predict the metabolites catechol, salicylate, and gentisate
generated in this process to (select one):

Cabe more polar and therefore more soluble in water than naphthalene.
Ob.be less polar and therefore less soluble in water than naphthalene.
Ochave the same solubility in water as naphthalene.
