Question

Arrange the following parts of a biosensor in chronological order.

• A. A) Bioreceptors, Transducer, Amplifier, Microelectronics
• B. B) Bioreceptors, Amplifier, Microelectronics, Transducer
• C. C) Transducer, Bioreceptors, Amplifier, Microelectronics
• D. D) Bioreceptors, Amplifier, Microelectronics, Transducer

Answer 1

The correct option is A A) Bioreceptors, Transducer, Amplifier, Microelectronics

A biosensor typically consists of a biorecognition component, biotransducer component, and electronic system which include a signal amplifier, processor, and display. The bioreceptor is designed to interact with the specific analyte of interest to produce an effect measurable by the transducer. High selectivity for the analyte among a matrix of other chemical or biological components is a key requirement of the bioreceptor and it uses biomolecules from organisms or receptors modelled after biological systems to interact with the analyte of interest. This interaction is measured by the biotransducer which outputs a measurable signal proportional to the presence of the target analyte in the sample.

So, the correct answer is option A.
