Subject-Specific FAQs

• Q: How does fermentation differ between dairy and bakery products?

  Fermentation in dairy relies on lactic acid bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus) to produce yogurt and cheese, while bakery fermentation uses Saccharomyces cerevisiae to leaven bread through CO₂ production.

• Q: What are the primary ethical concerns in GM food biotechnology?

  Key concerns include ecological risks (e.g., gene flow to wild relatives), long-term health impacts, and equitable access to genetically modified crops in developing nations.
