Biotechnology
Station 1: Stem Cells
-
-
-
Description: Stem cells are cells with the unique ability to develop into specialized cell types in the body. In the future, they may be used to replace cells and tissues that have been damaged or lost due to disease.
Genetic Engineering
-
-
Examples: (transgenic) organisms currently on the market include plants with resistance to some insects, plants that can tolerate herbicides, and crops with modified oil content.
Description :Genetic engineering is the process of manually adding new DNA to an organism. The goal is to add one or more new traits that are not already found in that organism.

Biomass/Biofuels
-
-
-
Description: Biofuel is fuel that is produced through contemporary processes from biomass, rather than by the very slow geological processes involved in the formation of fossil fuels, such as oil.
Bioremediation
-
Examples:Some types of microbes eat and digest contaminants usually changing them into small amounts of water and harmless gases like carbon dioxide and ethane.
-
Descriptions: Bioremediation stimulates the growth of certain microbes that use contaminants as a source of food and energy. Contaminants treated using bioremediation include oil and other petroleum products, solvents, and pesticides.
