The use of tools and resources to manipulate or model living organisms to meet human needs and wants.

The study of cell structures.

The structural and functional units of all living things

The study of how organisms and species evolve from different organisms

The ability of living organisms to adapt to their environment through the natural change of characteristics that are needed to help the organism survive.

The intentional selection of specific traits from animals or plants to emphasize through breeding.

A field of study focused on the ways in which genes are used inside the cell structure.

The hereditary unit of living organisms that contain information about the traits from parents and give instruction to the rest of the cell on which traits to pass on to the offspring.

The ability of an organism to regulate itself in order to maintain a constant state.

Biological materials that are used as a source of energy to produce heat or electricity.

Uses enzymes and other microorganisms to convert biomass materials into energy sources.

A chemical process that uses microorganisms to decompose a biomass material to create the liquid fuel alcohol.

A process that uses microorganism to degrade biological material in an environment without oxygen.

A method of creating piles of biomass and allowing the natural organisms to break down the biological composition of the material.

A solid material used to fertilize agricultural crops and other plant life.

Uses heat to create a chemical change in biological material.

The burning of wood, municipal waste, or other biomass to create heat or to provide steam to power electrical generators.

Involves breaking down biological materials using heat and reduced oxygen.

The process of turning biomass into carbon dioxide and hydrogen through a controlled amount of high temperatures and oxygen.

A branch of biological engineering focused on crop and livestock production.
