Introduction
Nanomaterials:-
Nanomaterial is defined as a
"material with any external dimension in the
nanoscale or having internal structure or
surface structure in the nanoscale",
with nanoscale defined as the "length range
approximately from 1 nm to 100 nm"
Biological Methods:
•Any substance, as a serum or vaccine, derived
from animal products or other biological
sources and used to treat or prevent disease.
•Biology is the natural science that studies life and
living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical
processes, molecular interactions.
•Applications:
1. Fungi
2. Bacteria
3. Yeast
4. Plants
Fungi
•The group of eukaryotic organisms that includes micro-organisms
such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms.
Other Uses of Fungi
Fungi are useful for many other reasons.
They are a major source of citric acid (vitamin C).
They produce antibiotics such as penicillin which has saved
countless lives.
They can be genetically engineered to produce insulin and other
human hormones.
They are model research organisms.
Bacteria
Bacteria are prokaryotes, which consist of a single cell with a simple
internal structure.
Uses of Bacteria:
•Bacteria are decomposers, they break down the chemical elements
inside other living or dead organisms.
•Some bacteria live in the intestines of humans and animals. They
decompose, or break down food particles so that they can be digested.
•Other bacteria live in the soil and water, they help break down dead
matter there.
•Bacteria that live in the soil also recycle carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, and
other chemical elements while decomposing matter.
Yeast
A microscopic fungus consisting of single oval cells that reproduce by
budding, and are capable of converting sugar into alcohol and carbon
dioxide.
Yeasts are able to grow in foods with a low pH and in the presence of
sugars, organic acids, and other easily metabolized carbon sources.
During their growth, yeasts metabolize some food components and
produce metabolic end products. This causes the physical, chemical, and
sensible properties of a food to change, and the food is spoiled.
Types:
(a). Beer
(b).Wine
(c).Baking
Plant
Plant is an organism that is green, terrestrial, and smaller than a shrub
or a tree, a herb.
Uses of Plants:
1. Food
2. Medicines
3. Paper
4. Rubber
5. Wood
6. Cottons
7. Fibers
8. Perfumes
9. Pollution-remover
10. Manure
