The correct Answer is:
To determine the applications of biotechnology from the options provided, we can analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Therapeutics (A)**: - Biotechnology plays a significant role in the development of drugs and therapies. This includes the production of vaccines, antibiotics, and other medications that are crucial for treating diseases. - **Conclusion**: Therapeutics is an application of biotechnology. 2. **Diagnostics (B)**: - Biotechnology is essential in the field of diagnostics. It involves techniques such as PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) that help in identifying diseases and pathogens. - **Conclusion**: Diagnostics is an application of biotechnology. 3. **GM crops for agriculture (C)**: - Genetically modified (GM) crops are created using biotechnological methods to enhance desirable traits such as resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental conditions. - **Conclusion**: GM crops for agriculture are an application of biotechnology. 4. **Processed food (D)**: - Biotechnology is utilized in food processing to improve food safety, quality, and nutritional value. This includes fermentation processes and the development of food products that are more sustainable. - **Conclusion**: Processed food is an application of biotechnology. 5. **Bioremediation (E)**: - Bioremediation is the use of microorganisms to degrade environmental contaminants, making it a significant application of biotechnology in environmental management. - **Conclusion**: Bioremediation is an application of biotechnology. 6. **Waste treatment (F)**: - Biotechnology is employed in waste treatment processes, particularly in the treatment of wastewater, where biological processes are used to remove contaminants. - **Conclusion**: Waste treatment is an application of biotechnology. 7. **Energy production (G)**: - Biotechnology can be used to produce biofuels and other forms of renewable energy through processes such as fermentation and anaerobic digestion. - **Conclusion**: Energy production is an application of biotechnology. ### Final Conclusion: All the options listed (A to G) are indeed applications of biotechnology. Therefore, the correct answer is that all the options provided are included in the applications of biotechnology.

    Crop production is a branch of agriculture that deals with growing crops for use as food and fiber. Principle of crop production of food in a manner that ensures the long-term productivity of the land, by protecting the health of soil, water, air and biodiversity. This can apply locally (in avoiding runoff to a nearby water-body), or globally. (a) Complete the flow chart by listing the different agricultural practices followed by farmers, in the order in which they are implemented during crop production. (b) What factors control crop production? (c) What are the two types of crops that are grown in different seasons? (d) Which crop is known as thirsty crop?

    Distinguish between (a) Grazing food chain and detritus food chain (b) Production and decomposition (c) Upright and inverted pyramid (d) Food chain and Food web (e) Litter and detritus (f) Primary and secondary productivity .

    A process used to treat contaminated media including water,soil and sub surface is called (A) waste treatment (B) bioremediation (C) biofortification (D) biomagnification

    An organism A which cannot move from one place to another, makes a simple food B from the substances C and D available in the environment. This food is made in the presence of a green coloured substance E present in organs F in the presence of light energy in a process called G. Some of the simple food B also gets converted into a complex food H for storage purposes. The food H gives a blue-blank colour with dilute iodine solution. (a) What is (i) organism A (ii) food B, and (iii) food H? (b) What are C and D ? (c) Name (i) green coloured substance E, and (ii) organ F. (d) What is the prcoess G ?

    The material A is fossil fuel which is extracted from the earth. It is said to be formed from the buried , large land plants by a very slow process B. When A is heated in the absence of air in a process called C, then it gives three products D, E, and F. The product D is used as a reducing agent in the extraction of metals the product E is used as an industrial fuel whereas the product F has been traditionally used for metalling the roads . c) Name the processes (i) B and (ii) C.
