2. Using recombinant DNA technology
to modify an organism’s DNA to
achieve desirable traits is called
genetic engineering.
Bacteria, plants, and animals
have been genetically modified
since the early 1970s for academic,
medical, agricultural, and
industrial purposes.
3. The bacteria which are formed by recombinant
DNA technology are capable of
synthesizing human insulin
human growth hormone
food fermentation
4. The manipulation of organisms in order to yield a
specific product has many applications to the real
world the production of some antibiotics, vitamins,
enzymes, amino acids, solvents, alcohol and daily
products.
5. The production of organic solvents like
acetone, butanol and iso propanol through
fermentation was one of the first things to be
produced by using bacteria, since achieving the
necessity of the products is easily achieved by
using living systems.
6. Industrial fermentation is the intentional use
of fermentation by microorganisms such
as bacteria and fungi to make products useful
to humans.
7. Ethanol fermentation,
is also called alcoholic
fermentation.
is a biological process
Which converts sugars
such as glucose fructose, and
sucrose into cellular energy,
producing ethanol and carbon
dioxide as by-products.
8. Wine is produced by fermentation of the
natural sugars present in grapes; cider is
produced by similar fermentation of natural
sugar in apples and pears.
Mead is produced by
fermentation of the
natural sugars present
in honey.
9. Beer, whiskey, and vodka are produced by
fermentation of grain starches that have been
converted to sugar by the enzyme amylase,
which is present in grain kernels that have
been malted.
10. Ethanol fermentation
causes bread dough to
rise.
Yeast organisms consume
sugars in the dough and
produce ethanol and
carbon dioxide as
waste products.
The carbon dioxide forms
bubbles in the dough,
expanding it to foam.
Less than 2% ethanol remains after baking.
12. Benzene is an important organic chemical
compound with the chemical formula C6H6.
13. Benzene is a widely used
industrial chemical.
Benzene is found in
crude oil and is a major
part of gasoline. It's used
to make plastics, resins,
synthetic fibers,
rubber lubricants, dyes,
detergents, drugs and
pesticides. Benzene is
produced naturally by
volcanoes and forest fires.
