Biotechnology deals with the manipulation of organisms to do practical things and to provide useful products. One aspect of biotechnology is the directed use of organisms for the manufacture of organic products like beer and milk products.

Biotechnology is also employed in the recycling, treatment of waste, and the cleaning up of sites contaminated by industrial activities called bioremediation. -Jasmin R. Uy/MEEV
