 REVIEW OF THE PREVIOUS LESSON (TRUE OR FALSE) 1. Traditional biotechnology primarily involves techniques like fermentation and selective breeding. 2. Modern biotechnology relies heavily on genetic manipulation through recombinant DNA technology. 3. Traditional biotechnology methods can produce genetically modified organisms (GMOs). 4. Traditional biotechnology can be used to create insulin for diabetes treatment. 5. Modern biotechnology is a key tool in developing treatments for genetic disorders. After the discussion of traditional and modern biotechnology, how important traditional biotechnology in our present time based on the things that you have mentioned in the activity (Word Cloud)? Techniques used in traditional biotechnology, such as fermentation, selective breeding, and crossbreeding, are essential for human survival and progress. Fermentation, for instance, has been used for centuries to produce food, beverages, and medicinal products, while selective breeding has improved crop yields, animal productivity, and disease resistance. These techniques have significantly contributed to food security, agricultural development, and the preservation of biodiversity. Moreover, traditional biotechnology methods are sustainable, accessible, and adaptable, making them crucial for communities worldwide, especially in regions where modern technologies may not be readily available. Processing Question In what ways could traditional biotechnology techniques be combined with modern biotechnological innovations to create more sustainable agricultural practices? Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) was a French chemist who made several key discoveries. He proved that infectious diseases were caused by microorganisms, developed the first vaccines and invented pasteurisation. Our early ancestors used microorganisms to make cheese, yoghurt and bread. They also made alcoholic drinks like beer and wine. All of these foods and drinks are made by fermentation. Louis Pasteur first described the scientific basis for fermentation in the late 1800s. Pasteur’s hypothesis, called the germ theory, showed the existence of microorganisms and their effect on fermentation.

It is a form of artificial selection where organisms with preferred characteristics (such as size, color, or resistance to disease) are chosen to reproduce, and those without those traits are often excluded from breeding. Fermentation is the traditional technique used by our ancient ancestors to preserve raw materials such as meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, dairy products and even condiments for human consumption. This process was characterized as metabolic process in which a complex substance breaks down into simpler substance in the absence of O2. There are two types of fermentation. First, the ethanol fermentation or alcoholic fermentation which is used for making beer, wine, and sour-bread production. Second, the lactic acid fermentation which is used in making dairy, fruits, vegetable preserved-products, and producing flavored, aromatic sauces. Lactic Acid Fermentation is a type of fermentation which is usually carried out by bacteria or fungi. The primary bacteria that plays a vital role in the process is the Lactic Acid Bacteria.  PERFORMANCE TASK #2 The groups will create 10 questions. They will use it for the quizbee-like activity.
