Question

The biological response of the biosensor is determined by ______

(a) biocatalytic membrane

(b) physio-chemical membrane

(c) chemical membrane

(d) artificial membrane

I have been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

I'd like to ask this question from Biosensors in section Physiological Transducers of Biomedical Instrumentation

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) biocatalytic membrane

The explanation: The biological response of the biosensor is determined by biocatalytic membrane. The biocatalytic membrane accomplishes the conversion of reactant to product. The product of the reaction diffuses to the transducer. This then causes the electrical response.
