Full Description
This exam examines the mechanisms of toxicity and their effects on both ecological systems and physiological processes in organisms. Candidates will elucidate the pathways through which toxicants exert their effects.
Knowledge of these mechanisms is vital for assessing the health of ecosystems and predicting the consequences of chemical exposure on wildlife and habitats.
Candidates will be tested on their ability to explain key principles of toxicology, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of environmental pollutants.
Discussions will also involve the implications of these mechanisms in the context of ecosystem management and conservation efforts.
Sample Questions
- What are the primary pathways through which toxicants affect organism physiology?
- Can you explain the environmental implications of metabolic conversion of toxic substances?
