Question

Biotechnology and Nano technology

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

There has been considerable hope put on biotechnology

and nanotechnology. Biotechnology deals with applications of

living organism to improve human initiatives. When we talk

of biotechnology in India, we tend to talk primarily of its use

in health and agricultural sectors. In medicine, it would mean

better and cheaper medicines, new therapies to deal with ageold adversaries like cancer, vaccinations and diagnostics. In

agriculture, the expectations are in terms of developing higher

yielding seeds by manipulating the very genes of plants,

bio pesticides and bio-fertilizers, and food preservation and

processing. Food preservation is essential as we still lose almost

30% of our food grain production a year due to poor storage

facilities.

Nanotechnology, on the

other hand, is a relatively

u n e x p l o r e d a r e a w i t h

only government-funded

research so far. But the

hopes associated with it are

great. Nanotechnology is

a technology of very small

scales—a thousand times

smaller than the thickness of

a human hair. At such scales,

though the basic nature of

matter remains the same, a

lot of structural flaws can

be removed making things

stronger, catalysts more efficient and medicines working faster. The current goal is

to direct nanotechnology research to enhance agricultural

productivity by helping genetic improvements, treatment of

polluted water resources, and making crops more resistant to

pest or insect attacks. In future, we could have nano particlesbased insecticides where we would need to spray just a small

quantity of it over an entire hectare.

There are several hurdles to be overcome before these

goals can be achieved, especially assessment of long-term

use of nanotechnology and biotechnology on human health.

Today, India seems to be on the right track and the future looks

promising
