Abyan Majid
Microbes on Food Production
Yoghurt
Lactose
Lactose react with enzymes in the bacteria and become Lactic Acid.
Lactic Acid
Lactic Acid converts milk proteins and create thicker yoghurt.
Cheese
Rennet
Rennet turns milk proteins solid.
Brews
Yeast
Yeast is a type of fungi that contains an enzyme, which can convert glucose and water into co2 and ethanol or alcohol.
Bread
Yeast
The dough is stretched in purpose to have air inside, and so the yeast have quite of oxygen
Vinegar
Acetic Acid
is the scientific name of Vinegar. it was an alcohol before convertion.
Pro and Cons
Pros
It can improve health and reduce hunger.
It creates flexibility within the food chain.
It offers medical advancement opportunities.
It allows us to preserve resources.
It can reduce infectious disease rates.
Cons
It creates an all-or-nothing approach.
It is a field of research with many unknowns.
It could ruin croplands.
It turns human life into a commodity.
It can be used for destruction.
Biotechnology
Biotechnology is a technology that involves the use of living organisms.
Appliance of Biotechnology
Biotechnology is functioned in fields which may include: agriculture, food science, and medicine.
Nutrients Supply
Biotechnology is also functioned to convert nutrients into food.
Healthcare
Biotechnology is applied in the healthcare sector is the development of pharmaceuticals that have proven problematic to produce though other conventional means because of purity concerns.
Biofuels
Biotechnology is allowing this to happen with advances such as using corn to produce combustible fuel for running car engines. These fuels are good for the environment as they do not produce the greenhouse gases.
Industrial Biotechnology
The industrial applications of biotechnology range from the production of cellular structures to the production of biological elements for numerous uses.
Types
Medical Biotechnology
Agricultural Biotechnology
Agricultural Biotechnology
Agricultural biotechnology is aimed to develop genetically modified plants.
Purpose
increasing crop yields or introducing characteristics to those plants that provide them with an advantage growing in regions that place some kind of stress factor on the plant namely weather and pests.
Examples
Pest Immunity for Crops
Plant and Animal Breeding
Pest Immunity for Crops
Biotechnology has provided techniques for the creation of crops that reveal anti-pest characteristics, making them very resistant to pests,
Plant and Animal Breeding
Animals with the most desirable characteristics are to breed with each other so that the resulting offspring would also express these traits.
Medical Biotechnology
Medical biotechnology functions living cells and other cells to create a better health quality of humans.
Examples
Vaccines
Antibiotics
Vaccines
Vaccines are chemicals works by stimulating the immune system of a human's body.
They achieve this by applying weaker versions of the disease into the body’s bloodstream.
Antibiotics
Strides have been made in the development of antibiotics that combat pathogens for humans. Many plants are grown and genetically engineered to produce the antibodies.
Purpose
it is used for finding cures as well as getting rid of and preventing diseases.
Genetic Engineering
Is the conversion of characteristics/traits of an organism, done by employing its genetic elements
