technology using living organisms
The use of living cells or parts of living things to make products, improve crops and animals, or treat diseases, often by changing genes.
Vzorec užití:
biotechnology in [field/industry]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse 'biotechnology' with 'biology'. 'Biology' is the general science of living things, while 'biotechnology' is the use of biological knowledge and tools to create products or solve problems. Another mistake is treating 'biotechnology' as countable ('a biotechnology'); it is normally uncountable and used without 'a' or a plural 's'.
Synonyma
biotech (Informal shortened form, common in speech and headlines but less in formal writing.)
|
genetic engineering (Focuses specifically on changing genes; often part of biotechnology but not the whole field.)
Antonyma
mechanical engineering (Focuses on machines and physical systems rather than on living organisms or cells.)
