The Role of Biology in Modern Technology

Biotechnology uses living organisms to solve problems and create useful products. From food to medicine, its applications are everywhere.

Everyday Applications

  • Genetically modified crops for better nutrition
  • Production of insulin using bacteria
  • Environmental cleanup using engineered microbes

Understanding the science behind these innovations helps us make informed choices and appreciate their impact.

Examples

  • Yogurt is made using beneficial bacteria to ferment milk.

  • Insulin for diabetes is produced using genetically modified bacteria.
