Wyoming Pesticide Applicator Certification Practice Test

Absorption in the context of pesticides refers to the movement of chemicals into organisms or soil. This is different from the release of chemicals into the atmosphere (option A), as absorption involves the chemicals being taken in by living organisms or the soil. Additionally, absorption is also different from degradation of pesticides (option B), which is the breakdown of pesticides over time. Lastly, it is not the same as the breakdown of pesticide resistance (option D), which refers to a pesticide becoming less effective over time due to organisms developing a resistance to it. Overall, absorption is a key concept in understanding how pesticides interact with the environment and living organisms.
