Biology

Study of living organisms and their interactions with the environment.

Practical Applications

Farming and Biotechnology

Feeding the World

Biology plays a vital role in agriculture and biotechnology. Scientists use their knowledge of genetics and plant biology to grow more food and create better crops.

How Does Biotechnology Help?

  • Genetically modified (GM) crops can resist pests and survive harsh weather.
  • Biotechnology helps create medicines like insulin for diabetes.

Farmers and the Future

Modern farming uses biology to produce more food with less impact on the environment.

Examples

  • Farmers planting drought-resistant crops to deal with climate change.

  • Scientists developing bacteria that help clean up oil spills.
