I will be talking on a very important topic in our society today which is Biotechnology.
BIOTECHNOLOGY
In this topic,For a better understanding of what it's all about I would talk on the following;
What is Biotechnology
Types of Biotechnology
Careers in Biotechnology
Uses of Biotechnology
WHAT IS BIOTECHNOLOGY
Biotechnology is the technology that uses biological systems, living organisms or part of it to make a different products.
It's a broad area in biology that cuts across all life sciences.Biotechnology is the heart of sciences as it plays a major role in Agriculture, Medicine, pharmacy, industry and engineering.Most of the innovative changes that occurred in sciences were made possible through biotechnology.
Through the help of Biotechnology,the introduction and application of genetic engineering were made possible.One cannot actually talk about biotechnology without mentioning genetic engineering.biotechnogy is genetic engineering and genetic engineering is biotechnology,this is because biotechnology played very important role in genetic engineering.Biotechnology cannot exit or rather trend without genetic engineering and vice versa.
Currently,in all life sciences there is always the act of practicing what one has learned and possibly using it to create something new or improving the old one.
In a nutshell, biotechnology is just the use of technology to practice life sciences and transforming it to better things for the benefit of the society.
TYPES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY
Medical Biotechnology (Red)
Industrial Biotechnology (white)
Environmental Biotechnology (Green)
Marine Biotechnology (Blue)
MEDICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
This is the type of Biotechnology that deals with drugs and other medical professions.its symbol is red.
INDUSTRIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
This biotechnology is the use of living cells from plants,yeast and bacteria to create products.its symbol is white.
ENVIRONMENTAL BIOTECHNOLOGY
This is also known as Agricultural biotechnology.it plays a vital role in Agriculture by producing strong and fertile varieties of crops and other agricultural produce.its symbol is green.
MARINE BIOTECHNOLOGY
This biotechnology helps in using existing ideas to create energy.in marine biotechnology the growing algae biomass helps in creating biofuel.its symbol is blue.
CAREERS IN BIOTECHNOLOGY
There are unlimited careers in biotechnology.
As a biotechnologist you have higher chances to secure a job because you eventually know about every discipline in life sciences.
A biotechnologist can work as a biochemical engineer, Laboratory technician and of course every other place a life scientist can major.
A biotechnologist can be self employed and expand his own career as the day passes by as their are new discoveries daily.
USES OF BIOTECHNOLOGY
There are so many uses of biotechnology as it plays a vital role in the world at large.
Biotechnology provides breakthrough technologies and products that fights diseases,reduces environmental footprints,made life easier,feed the hungry,use less and cleaner energy and also made our industrial activities more easier and simpler.
