Контрольная работа по Английскому языку на тему: "Biotechnology"

Вариант № 1

Biotechnology is a technology based on biology. It harnesses cellular and biomolecular processes to develop technologies and products can improve our lives the health of our planet. We have used the biological processes of microorganisms for more than 6,000 years to make useful food products, such as bread and cheese, and to preserve dairy products.

Modern biotechnology provides breakthrough products and technologies to combat debilitating and rare diseases, reduce our environmental footprint, feed the hungry, use less and cleaner energy and have safer, cleaner and more efficient industrial manufacturing processes.

Currently, there are more than 250 biotechnology health care products and vaccines available to patients, many for previously untreatable diseases. More than 13,3 million farmers around the world use agricultural biotechnology to increase yields, prevent damage from insects and pests and reduce farming’s impact on the environment.

Biotechnology is the use of living systems and organisms to develop and produce useful products or “any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use” (UN Convention on Biological Diversity, Art. 2). Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with the related fields of bioengineering and biomedical engineering.

For thousands of years mankind has used biotechnology in agriculture, food production and medicine. The term itself was coined in 1919 by Hungarian engineer Karoly Ereky. In the late 20th and early 21st century biotechnology included new and diverse sciences such as genomics, recombinant gene technologies, applied immunology, development of pharmaceutical therapies and diagnostic test.
