The use of living things to manufacture products
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to bake a cake but don't have all the ingredients at hand. Biotechnology is like having a magic kitchen where instead of you doing all the work, you have tiny chefs—like yeast or bacteria—that can produce the ingredients you need. Just as you rely on these tiny chefs to whip up the components for your cake, biotechnology uses living organisms to produce necessary materials, like medicines or biofuels, by harnessing their natural abilities to synthesize complex compounds.
