    Biotechnology provides many benefits to meeting societal needs. It allows for the creation of disease-resistant crops, increasing yields and ensuring a steady food supply. Biotechnology is very important for agricultural production, as it addresses issues like food security and nutrition. It can produce high-yield, nutrient-rich crops to help sustain societies. However, there are also some disadvantages like threatening certain species or affecting soil fertility. Biotechnology applications in agriculture that produce high-yield crops with more nutrients are relevant for meeting nutritional needs. While GMOs could help meet needs, they may also potentially harm health through allergic reactions or increased antibiotic resistance if not developed carefully. Catalysts like enzymes are important for food production as they enable biochemical reactions and

    1. How do you think biotechnology give benefits to the societal needs? Does their
    applications relevant in the present societal needs/conditions?
    By the use of biotechnology societal needs are provided and societal problems
    are solved. Some examples of the benefits of biotechnology are the creation of disease-
    resistant crops and the speed up of breeding gains. Their applications are relevant in
    the present societal needs because through it the societal needs are met and societal
    problems are given solution. The creation of disease resistant crops makes sure that
    crops would not be wasted and there would always be crops to harvest.

    2. How important this biotechnology in agricultural production? Cite some advantages


    and disadvantages.
    Biotechnology is very important in agricultural production. The advantages of
    Biotechnology in agricultural production are that it addresses the issues with regards to
    food security, agriculture, drug production, and nutrition. Some disadvantages of
    biotechnology are that it can threaten the survival of certain species, affects soil fertility,
    and many more.

    3. Describe some areas where biotech applications that are relevant in the societal
    needs.
    Biotech application in agriculture is relevant in the societal needs. With
    biotechnology we can produce high yield crops, with high nutrients which is helpful to
    the sustainability of our society. We can also speed up breeding gains and efficiency
    and through this we will not experience insufficient supply of food in the market.

    4. In your own understanding, does producing GMO products could help sustain
    societal needs without harming our health?
    Yes, I do believe that producing GMO products could help sustain societal needs
    but it also has cons like harming our health. Scientist are developing GMO products in
    mind that it does not harm our health. Scientist makes sure that these products are not
    harmful to human and can help in solving societal issues and needs. But there are
    factors that they cannot remove. GMO’s may cause allergic reaction to humans, and
    may also increase antibiotic resistance.
    5. What are catalysts and their role in food production?
    Catalysis is an ability that just Natural World has learned. Natural catalysts are
    classified as enzymes. Enzymes are protein molecules that are also known as
    biocatalysts because of their ability to catalyze various biochemical and biological
    reactions. The enzyme catalysis provided the initial impetus for developing synthetic
    catalysts, which has now become a lifeline for industrial applications of chemical
    science research. Both synthetic catalysts, such as homogeneous catalysts,
    heterogeneous catalysts, and nanocatalysts, have some environmental disadvantages,
    but enzymes and biocatalysts are entirely green. While its world's population continues
    to grow, so do the world's food demands. Enzyme catalysis is the most
    promising/complex area of catalytic science, with the potential to solve the world's food
    crisis and make food affordable to all. Enzymes are widely used to process and store
    food materials in various food industries, including baking, dairy, and starch processing,
    brewing, and beverages. Fundamental aspects of enzymes, a mechanistic description
    of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, and their importance in the food processing industry are
    discussed in this chapter.
