Enzymes are used in our everyday lives in many ways. Some common products that rely on enzymes include laundry detergents, food processing, contact lens cleaners, and dairy products.
Enzymes are genetically altered for use in industry due to their ability to catalyze chemical reactions more efficiently than traditional methods, resulting in faster and more cost-effective production. The benefits of using enzymes in industry include increased efficiency, improved safety, lower costs, and reduced environmental impact.
Enzymes reduce the use of energy in some manufacturing processes by breaking down large molecules into smaller pieces, which can be used as starting materials for other reactions.
Enzymes are genetically altered for the use of industry through genetic engineering which involves introducing new DNA sequences into existing genomes.
The benefits of biofuels include reducing the dependence on fossil fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and providing a renewable source of energy.
