How does the European Federation of Biotechnology (EFB) define biotechnology? |
The use of live organisms and enzymes to produce products useful to humans The integration of natural science with organisms, cells, and molecular analogues for products and services The use of genetically modified organisms in agricultural practices The study of DNA and genetic material in living organisms |
The integration of natural science with organisms, cells, and molecular analogues for products and services |
b) The integration of natural science with organisms, cells, and molecular analogues for products and services The European Federation of Biotechnology (EFB) defines biotechnology as "The integration of natural science and organisms, cells, parts thereof, and molecular analogues for products and services." This definition encompasses both traditional biotechnological processes, such as using live organisms and enzymes to produce products useful to humans (option a), and modern molecular biotechnology, which involves working with organisms, cells, and molecular components to develop new products and services.
