Biotechnology is the “technology based on biology.” Specifically, it involves the use of living systems and organisms—or their derivatives—to develop or make products for specific uses. Modern biotechnology is heavily underpinned by Genetic Engineering (recombinant DNA technology), which allows us to transfer specific genes from one organism to another to achieve desired traits.
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants prepare their own food using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water in the presence of chlorophyll.
Respiration in plants is the process by which stored food (glucose) is broken down to release energy required for growth, repair, and metabolic activities.
Growth in plants is a permanent and irreversible increase in size, mass, or number of cells. It occurs due to cell division, cell elongation, and cell differentiation.
