This document discusses the four main types of biotechnology: red, green, blue, and white. Red biotechnology involves using microorganisms to develop medicines and prevent disease. Green biotechnology applies the technology to agricultural processes and transgenic foods. Blue biotechnology is a newer field focused on health, cosmetics, and other products. White biotechnology aims to produce more sustainable industrial materials with less waste and pollution. The document also notes both benefits, such as crops requiring fewer pesticides, and risks, like possible human health impacts from transgenic food consumption.

1.-What is the Biotechnology?

2. The Biotechnology is use the microorganisms lives for
making products:
Prevent disease.
Used less energy and pollute less.
Power station more clean and efficient.
Ferment food.

2.-The applications differences.
a.-Red biotechnology: is the technology for the salut:

3. antibiotics medicines generally.
b.-Green biotechnology: is the technology applied to
agricultural processes, aliments trasgenics.
c.-Blue biotechnology: is the technology very recent, but
expected big results for health, for the cosmetics and
products.

4. d.-White biotechnology: this is used for the industry.
His objective is make new materials more biodegradable
and his production have less waste, products chemical,
plastics biodegradables and biocombustible.
3.- The good and the bad
THE GOOD
The aliments trasgenic do have less pesticides and

5. pollute, also can produce aliments with more nutrients.
THE BAD
The farmers poor for that can’t log on to those resources,
can’t compete in the market.
a) environmental risks: the crops modification
arrive unmodified crops and not affected by pesticides.
b)Risks in the human health: the consumption
of products trasgenics, can cause mutations to the cells
human.
