Rice does not provide enough of certain vitamins. How could biotechnology be used to change this?

• Using a high nitrogen fertilzer.

• Using herbicide to get rid of weeds.

• Genetic modification of rice plants that are pest resistant and to produce vitamins they cannot make without biotechnology

• Using pesticide to get rid of pests that can harm the crop.

What would be an economic benefit of bioremediation in a coastal town that just experienced an oil spill?

• The cost of purified water will increase resulting in more revenue for the town.

• Water and land areas will be cleaned of oil, encouraging more tourists to visit the town and spend money there.

• The oil from the spill will be recovered from bioremediation and used as fuel in future.
