Question: 4
Define biotechnology ?
Answer: 4
4-30
Biotechnology is defines as the use of living organisms in processes for the manufacture of useful products or for services . Although the term biotechnology is new , the discipline itself is very old . Fermentation and other such processes , which are based on the natural capabilities of organisms , are commonly considered as old biotechnology
Question: 5
What is transgenic organism ?
Answer: 5
5-30
The organisms which have modified genetic step-up are called transgenic organisms . These organisms have derived characteristics
Question: 6
What is fermentation ?
Answer: 6
6-30
Fermentation is the process in which there is incomplete oxidation -reduction of glucose . Fermentation has been in the knowledge of man since centuries , but it was believed that it is purely a chemical process
Question: 7
What is lactic acid fermentation ?
Answer: 7
7-30
The process of fermentation in which pyruvic acid is reduced to lactic acid . It is carried out by streptococcus , lactobacillus species
Question: 8
Define biotechnology.
Answer: 8
8-30
The branch of biology which deals with study of use of living organisms in processes for manufacture of useful products or for services.
Question: 9
How would you define fermentation with reference to biotechnology?
Answer: 9
9-30
In biotechnology fermentation means the production of any product by the mass culture of micro organisms is called fermentation.
Question: 10
What is the significance of single cell protein ?
Answer: 10
10-30
The microorganisms grow vigorously and produce high yield . It has been calculated that 50 kg of yeast produces 250 tons of proteins within 24 hours . Algae in pond produce 20 tons protein per acre /year . Which 10-15 times higher than soyabeans and and 20-50 times higher than corn
Question: 11
What is batch fermentation ?
Answer: 11
11-30
In this process, tank of fermenter is filled with raw materials to be fermented . The temperature and pH is properly adjusted and nutrients are added . All material is sterilized . Pure culture of micro organisms is added to fermenter are taken out . Fermenter is cleaned and the process is repeated
Question: 12
What are beta endorphins ?
Answer: 12
12-30
It is a pain killer produced by brain in human but it can also be by genetic engineering
Question: 13
What are advantages of fermentess ?
Answer: 13
13-30
1: Fermenter provides monitored and controlled environment organisms
2: It optimizes the growth of organisms by controlling many factors like nutrients , oxygen , growth inhibitor , pH , temperature etc
3: It may hold several thousand liters of growth medium
4: Massive amounts of medicine i-e insulin , human growth hormone etc
Question: 14
What is genetic engineering?
Answer: 14
14-30
Genetic engineering i.e. the artificial synthesis, modification, removal, addition and repair of the genetic material are considered as modern biotechnology. It is done to alter the characteristics of organisms.
Question: 15
Name any two industrial products made by fermentation.
Answer: 15
15-30
Cereal products , Diary products.
Question: 16
Define transgenic organism .
Answer: 16
16-30
Transgenic organisms with modified genetic set-up are called transgenic , organisms
Question: 17
What is fermentation?
Answer: 17
17-30
Fermentation is the process in which there is incomplete oxidation reduction of glucose fermentation has been in the knowledge of mansicne centuries, but it was believed that it is purely a chemical process.
Question: 18
How Insulin is synthesized commercially?
Answer: 18
18-30
Human insulin gene was transferred into bacteria.The genetically modified bacteria became able to synthesize insulin. Diabetics are now receiving this insulin.

Question: 21
Give three objectives of genetic engineering ?
Answer: 21
21-30
The important objectives of genetic engineering are as follows
1: Production of particular RNA and protein molecules
2: Production of various of plants having particular desirable characteristics
3: Treatment of genetic defects in higher organisms
Question: 22
What is fermenter ?
Answer: 22
22-30
Fermenter is a device that provide optimum environment to microorganisms to grow into a biomass , son that they can interact with a substrate , forming the product . Fermentation is carried out in fermenters
Question: 23
What is carbohydrates fermentation?
Answer: 23
23-30
The initial steps of carbohydrate fermentation are identical to those of respiration.The process begins with glycolysis, in which the glucose, molecule is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid.
