CourseOverview Biotechnologyreferstotheuseofplants,animalsandmicroorganismstocreatenewproducts or processes. Biotechnology plays an important role in helping industry, medicine and agriculture produce foods and medicines, manage disease and pests, and clean up the environment. Chemistry has come a long way since the ancients used it for brewing, cosmetics, pottery, metallurgyandembalming,andsincethealchemiststriedtousechemistrytofindtheelixirof lifeortochangeleadintogold. Today Chemistry permeates every aspect of our world. Virtually everything from life itself to complete geological structure can be expressed in chemical terms, because Chemistry is the science of matter. A seemingly limitless variety of substances derived from elements and compoundsandfromatomsandmoleculesformthebasicframeworkofnatureandaccountfor itseverchangingpatterns. Microbiology is the science which is concerned with the study of microorganisms including their distribution and role in the environment and their relationship to other living organisms including humans (in health and disease) and other animals. An understanding of the basic natureandmolecularstructureofthemicrobeshasbeenamajorfactorintheadvancementof molecular biology as a scientific discipline and in establishing microbial genetics as an advancingscience. Botany covers all aspects of the life of plants. It therefore includes their structure and development, physiology and biochemistry, health and disease, relationships with other organisms and the environment (ecology), as well as the traditional aspects of plant identificationandclassification. Genetics combines the classical approaches of human & biomedical genetics and cyto genetics with the recently developed discipline of molecular genetics. Very much a practical science,italsohasacomplexandinterestingtheoreticalfoundation.
