TS+Biotechnology+OD

On your wiki page, cite the article (author, title, journal, date) and write down 3 things your discovered, 2 things you found interesting, and 1 question that you still have. Key words || [|Biotechnology] || || 1)I discovered that biotechnology may help the nviroment.Such as reducing pollution. 2)Biotechnology is also helpfull to farmers. Acording to some research, some plants are adapted to a herbicide-tolerant such as the tomato, that lets farmers use one general-purpose herbicide.Thus they save money and don't have to use pesticides with certain chemicals. 3)Reducing pesticide use in some crops is already saving energy in factories and replacing petroleum-based products.

1) I thought that the way some plants adapted to herbecides is interesting.Like the bioengineered tomato and corn.Instead of damaging them with pesticides containing certain chemicals. 2)Early research suggesting genetically modified corn was harming monarch butterflies.But why it does not affect us.

1) I still have a question why they call biotechnology a ticking time bomb for the environment.
