How biotechnology is used in DNA testing
Biotechnolgy is the manipulation of cells and living things so using a living cell or hair strand scientist identify the DNA. By identifying the DNA police can use the DNA under file to match the DNA to a person and determine the criminal.
Biotechnology in Agriculture
Biotechnology is used in agriculture to enhance or change the genes in plants. By adding in and taking out genes scientist can make plants last longer without water, make more food, and produce better tasting products.
How biotechnology is used in the health industry
Biotechnology is used in lots of different ways in medicine and these are just a few. Biotechnology is used to disover the origins of diseases to create vacines. Biotechnology was also used to discover penicillin by removing the the bad cells from the bacteria that contained it.
Biotechnology in bioremedication
In biomedication bacteria and fungi are put into an ecosystem to make sure animaks can carry out life functions. An example of using biotechnology in bioremedication would be inserting an organism that eats a certian type of polution into an area with a problem with that type of polution.
Possible negitive imapcts of biotechnology
Disrupting Ecosystems Lots of scientist agree that creating new species can completely change or destroy an ecosystem and that is what several branches of biotechnology are about. Creating a new can be good like a plant that produces more food but that plant could have negative consequences for the plants around it, by attracting new kinds of bugs maybe. | Mutant species In biotechnology lots of scientists are working to produce more effective and practical species. There is always the possibility that one of these species could get out of control and do some terrible harm to the world. |

Biofuel Technician
Biofuel technicians use machines to harness chemicals from animals that can provide energy sources. Biofuel technicians use a lot of separations technology which helps them separate components of animals and chemicals.They also help other scientist in discovering cleaner energy sources.
