Biotechnology and Its Applications

Fiber is a piece of material that is long, thin, and flexible, like a length of thread. Plant fibers are the basis of fabric such as cotton, silk, and wool fibers that come from animals. In the 20th century, many artificial fibers were invented like nylon and polyester. They are very important in the structure […]

Synthetic fibres are obtained through the use of chemicals or petrochemicals, and they are manufactured from raw materials such as oil. Several types of fibres are produced from these materials through the process of polymerisation, which results in a long, linear fibre with a variety of chemical components. Even though synthetic fibres are used in

The Ringworm of the body (tinea corporis) that is a fungal infection that causes a rash. It usually appears as an itchy, circular rash with clearer skin in the centre. Ringworm gets its name from the way it looks. There is no worm involved. Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm of

Protozoa may be found in almost every environment. They may survive in the environment as free-living creatures, commonly in soil, water, or moss. They can also be resting cysts, allowing them to stay dry periods. Furthermore, certain protozoa are parasitic. Others exist in symbiosis with other organisms, dependent on each other to survive. Protozoa is

Surface chemistry is a subfield of chemistry that studies the processes that occur at the interfaces of phases, such as solid and liquid, solid and gas and liquid and liquid. This subject is critical to our daily lives and a variety of sectors, ranging from materials and paints to medicine and biotechnology. Surfaces are critical

Enzymes play an important role in various actions and reactions of the body. However, they do not always act independently and often depend on other body components, such as substrates, which are molecules that these enzyme molecules can latch on to and use as catalysts to speed up their actions. Typically, in chemistry, a substrate

Introduction Enzymes are protein-based bio-catalysts that speed up biological reactions while having no effect on the final product’s nature. Enzymes, like catalysts, govern the rate and specificity of reactions without being consumed, but unlike catalysts, enzymes are only produced by living organisms. Enzymes, like catalysts, affect the rate of biochemical reactions so that they can

Food is the most necessary resource for all living organisms. Like a car needs fuel, all living beings need food for proper functioning. Everything from plants to fungi, all living organisms need food to stay alive. Primarily, food is grown in fields by farmers, but, along with farming, there are various strategies from which we

Introduction As food is a necessity for almost every living creature, including human beings, its demand has increased manifold due to uncontrolled population growth. Unfortunately, this has also exposed the world to the problem of food scarcity. As a result, some strategies have been developed to counter this looming problem to enhance food production. Some

Plant and animal tissue fragments are cultured and grown in a laboratory environment using the technique known as Tissue Culture. Organs are frequently employed in the process of Tissue Culture. Broth and agar are the media that are used to promote the development of the Culture. Micropropagation is another term used to describe this technique.
