Biotechnology is the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make useful products. It is the branch of Bio Science that deals with technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use" Applications of Bio Technology
Biotechnology has applications in four major industrial areas, including A) Health Care (Medical) B) Crop production C) Agriculture D) Non food (industrial) uses of crops and other products Branches of Bio Technology
A) Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field which addresses biological problems using computational techniques, and makes the rapid organization and analysis of biological data possible. The field may also be referred to as computational biology, and can be defined as, "conceptualizing biology in terms of molecules and then applying informatics techniques to understand and organize the information associated with these molecules, on a large scale. B)Blue biotechnology is a term that has been used to describe the marine and aquatic applications of biotechnology. C)Green biotechnology is biotechnology applied to agricultural processes. D)Red biotechnologyis applied to medical processes. Some examples are the designing of organisms to produce antibiotics, and the engineering of genetic cures through genetic manipulation. E) White biotechnology, also known as industrial biotechnology, is biotechnology applied to industrial processes.

Bio Chemistry
Biochemistry, sometimes called biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes in living organisms. The laws of biochemistry govern all living organisms and living processes
Biochemistry is the study of the structure, composition, and chemical reactions of substances in living systems. Biochemistry emerged as a separate discipline when scientists combined biology with organic, inorganic, or physical chemistry and began to study such topics as how living things obtain energy from food, the chemical basis of heredity, and what fundamental changes occur in disease. Biochemistry includes the sciences of molecular biology; immuno-chemistry; neuro-chemistry; and bio-inorganic, bio-organic, and biophysical chemistry.
Applicationsof Bio Chemistry Biochemistry is applied to A) medicine B) dentistry C) veterinary medicine. D) food science, For example in food science, biochemists research ways to develop abundant and inexpensive sources of nutritious foods, determine the chemical composition of foods, develop methods to extract nutrients from waste products, or invent ways to prolong the shelf life food products. In agriculture, biochemists study the interaction of herbicides with plants. They examine the structure-activity relationships of compounds, determine their ability to inhibit growth, and evaluate the toxicological effects on surrounding life.
