A) industries
B) medicines
C) agriculture
D) biogas production
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Biotechnology deals with the development of technique for the application of biological process to the production of materials of use in medicines for example production of antibiotics, cheese. Genetic engineering is used to modify bacterial cell to synthesize completely new substances like insulin, somatostatin, vaccines, interferons, novel protein and monoclonal antibodies. Biotechnology is also useful in industries for examples in manufacturing of glycerol. Also used to manufacture alternative sweetness like fructose, aspartane and thaumatin. Also used in food, beverages and dairy industry. Biotechnology is used in manufacture of biofertilizers, bioinsecticide, bioherbiside etc. Biogas production technology offers a low cost alternative for energy requirement. It is produced by anaerobic fermentation of biomass and contains 50-70% methane, 25-55% carbon dioxide and traces of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen sulphide. Its calorific value is about 23-28 mJ/\[{{m}^{3}}\].
