Question

what do you understand by Biotechnology?​

Answer 1

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 2

Biotechnology is technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms or parts of this to develop or create different products developed rapidly because of the new possibility to make changes in the organisms' genetic material (DNA).
