explain what is biotechnology??
Answers
Biotech uses biological processes such as fermentation and harnesses biocatalysts such as enzymes, yeast, and other microbes to become microscopic manufacturing plants. Biotech is helping to fuel the world by:
1)Streamlining the steps in chemical manufacturing processes by 80% or more
2)Lowering the temperature for cleaning clothes and potentially saving $4.1 billion annually
3)Improving manufacturing process efficiency to save 50% or more on operating costs;
Reducing use of and reliance on petrochemicals
4)Using biofuels to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 52% or more
4)Decreasing water usage and waste generationand
Tapping into the full potential of traditional biomass waste products.
Answer:
At its simplest, biotechnology is technology based on biology - biotechnology harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and products that help improve our lives and the health of our planet. We have used the biological processes of microorganisms for more than 6,000 years to make useful food products, such as bread and cheese, and to preserve dairy products.
Modern biotechnology provides breakthrough products and technologies to combat debilitating and rare diseases, reduce our environmental footprint, feed the hungry, use less and cleaner energy, and have safer, cleaner and more efficient industrial manufacturing processes.
Recent advances in biotechnology are helping us prepare for and meet society’s most pressing challenges.
hope it helps you dear ❤...
