  2. Biological engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_engineering

    Biological engineering is a science-based discipline founded upon the biological sciences in the same way that chemical engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering [7] can be based upon chemistry, electricity and magnetism, and classical mechanics, respectively.

  3. Ecosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystem

    Ecosystem goods include the "tangible, material products" of ecosystem processes such as water, food, fuel, construction material, and medicinal plants. [ 44 ] [ 45 ] They also include less tangible items like tourism and recreation, and genes from wild plants and animals that can be used to improve domestic species.

  4. Bioproduct - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioproduct

    Bioprocess engineering is a conglomerate of mathematics, biology and industrial design, and consists of various spectrums like designing of Fermentors, study of fermentors (mode of operations etc.). It also deals with studying various biotechnological processes used in industries for large scale production of biological product for optimization ...

  5. Biomanufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomanufacturing

    Biomanufacturing products are recovered from natural sources, such as blood, or from cultures of microbes, animal cells, or plant cells grown in specialized equipment. The cells used during the production may have been naturally occurring or derived using genetic engineering techniques.

  7. Biotechnology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotechnology

    An example is the designing of an organism to produce a useful chemical. Another example is the using of enzymes as industrial catalysts to either produce valuable chemicals or destroy hazardous/polluting chemicals. White biotechnology tends to consume less in resources than traditional processes used to produce industrial goods.

  8. List of life sciences - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_life_sciences

    Biology is the overall natural science that studies life, with the other life sciences as its sub-disciplines. Some life sciences focus on a specific type of organism. For example, zoology is the study of animals, while botany is the study of plants.

  9. Bio-based material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bio-based_material

    By definition, biodegradable materials are formed or organic compounds which can thus be broken down by living organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, or water molds, and reabsorbed by the natural environment. [13] Whether a material is biodegradable is determined by its chemical structure, not the origin of the material from which it is made. [14]
