Biotechnology and Its Applications

Crops are plants that are produced and harvested by farmers for profit or subsistence. Crops may be ingested by both animals and humans and are necessary for life to exist. Agriculture is the branch of science that deals with the study of agricultural cultivation and cattle rearing. Crops can be cultivated in two ways: agriculture […]

Biotechnology, like other technologies, has the potential to provide huge benefits while simultaneously posing concerns. Climate change, an ageing population, food security, energy security, and infectious illnesses, to name a few, are all issues that biotechnology could help with. Indeed, the creation of human insulin, the very first genetically designed therapeutic, signaled the start of

A microscope is an optical device that magnifies objects that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. Microorganisms are invisible to the naked eye, but they can be seen under a microscope. The microscope magnifies these micro-objects, allowing the user to view small details at a scale that is suitable for research

Bio in Biofertilisers means fertiliser made up of biological organisms, mainly bacteria. The main property of fertiliser is to increase the soil’s nitrogen content, which improves the growth and productiveness of the crop, and for that, we use chemicals that are harmful to crops and other plants. However, nowadays, we are slowly moving towards biofertilisers.

Competitive inhibition occurs when a molecule that is not the enzyme’s natural substrate attaches to the active site of the enzyme, preventing the natural substrate from binding and suppressing enzyme activity. To measure the inhibitor’s efficiency, the affinity of a competitive inhibitor for an enzyme’s active site is compared to the affinity of a natural

Colloidal solution coagulation is defined as the coagulation of a colloidal solution. In colloidal particles, coagulation is the phenomenon of colloidal particles aggregating or building up in order to create a precipitate. Metals, their sulphides, and other substances cannot simply be mixed with the dispersion medium to generate a colloidal solution. Their colloidal solutions are

Let’s begin by defining the term “coagulation.” Coagulation is one of the many features displayed by colloidal solutions, according to the broad definition. A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture of one material with very small particles scattered in another substance (dispersed phase) (dispersion medium). Coagulation is a chemical reaction that causes non-stable particles to become

A cloning vector is a short bit of DNA that may be kept in an organism for a long time and into which a foreign DNA fragment can be inserted for cloning. The cloning vector could be DNA extracted from a virus, a cell from a higher creature, or a bacterium’s plasmid. The inclusion of

Biofertilizers contain microorganisms that are necessary for plant growth. The microorganisms help in absorbing nutrients from the soil. A plant or crop requirement is identified, and a suitable fertiliser is employed. It is necessary to classify biofertilizers as every individual species of crop requires certain amounts of specific nutrients. The appropriate bio fertilizer will help

Apiculture, also known as beekeeping, is referred to as the commercial production of honey. Apiculture is derived from the Latin word ‘apis‘, which means bee. It is the care and management of honey bees for honey and wax production. Bees are commercially bred in ‘apiaries’, which are areas where a large number of beehives can
