• • • • • • • • What is DDT? DDT or Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane is a People used it as an insecticide or pesticide on a global scale. It belongs to the family of moderately toxic, organic halogen compounds. If this is something to go by, then DDT can pose a challenge to the environment and our health. Is DDT Biodegradable? No. DDT is non-biodegradable. It’s a persistent organic pollutant that can’t decompose into simple, harmless substances in nature. To date, no action by microbes can degrade when it accumulates by a process called biomagnification or bioaccumulation. Because of this, it can cause harm to the environment. While it’s toxic, many countries like the U.S. regulate its usage, citing that it exerts health risk. The international boundaries classify it as a probable human carcinogen. Does DDT decompose Quickly? Yes, it takes 2 days to decompose in the air and 2-15 years in the soil. Once in the environment and in the presence of sunlight, DDT breaks down rapidly. After extensive exposure to the air, DDT will take only 2 days to break down. However, it sticks to the soil. The extensive exposure to the soil makes it decompose slowly but into DDD and DDE. The microorganisms are responsible for this. Environmentalists report that its half-life is between 2 and 15 years. Its decomposition rate depends on the type of soil, though. How Is DDT Bad For The Environment? Studies show that DDT is a threat to the environment. As usual, there must be reasons for this. As ...

Charles Darwin observed that seedlings grow towards light. He called this response photo tropism. In an experiment two light sources are used to illuminate each seedling. Each source is indicated by a yellow circle in the diagrams below. The larger yellow circle represents a light source with twice the illumination than the light source represented by the smaller yellow circle. Which of the above responses would be observed?
