Focus

Malaysia focuses on three major biotechnology industry segments:
Agricultural Biotechnology relates to applications of biotechnology in food and agriculture. Examples of agricultural technology research and applications include genetically modified crops that offer:
Crops that can use low quality soil to increase food production
Crops that offer additional features such as iron in rice for better public health
Resistant crops that need less pesticides to become more cost efficient
Healthcare Biotechnology relates to applications of biotechnology for medicine and health. Examples include new therapies based on the understanding of root causes of illness (e.g. cancer), and diagnosis and personalized treatments based on knowledge of an individual's genetic predisposition.
Industrial Biotechnology relates to applications of biotechnology in managing waste and environment. Examples of industrial biotechnology research and applications include development of biodegradable plastics, bacteria engineered to clean up toxic chemical spills, and fibers from renewable resources such as corn.

Your Muscles

Muscle tissue is made of excitable cells that are capable of contraction. This tissue is the most abundant tissue in most animals.

There are three major types of muscle tissue:
Cardiac Muscle - found in the heart.
Skeletal Muscle - attached to bones by tendons.
Visceral (Smooth) Muscle - found in various parts of the body such as the arteries and many other organs.

Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles because animals have control over their contraction. Visceral muscles are involuntary since, for the most part, they are not consciously controlled.

Best daki gunung...

Pada 29jan-1feb 2009 lalu,Bio society berjaya menganjurkn aktiviti explorasi Gunung Bubu di Kuala Kangsar,Perak. Menikmati pemandangan di puncak gunung merupakan pengalaman yg tak dapat dilupakan dan juga menjadi satu kepuasan buat semua peserta yang terlibat setelah bersusah payah mendaki selama 2 hari untuk sampai ke puncak gunung...TAHNIAH dan SYABAS kepada pihak penganjur kerana berjaya menjayakan aktiviti yg amat menarik ini dan kepada semua peserta,TAHNIAH kerana berjaya sampai ke puncak dan syukur kepada Tuhan kerana semua peserta selamat pergi dan pulang walaupun semua peserta kekurangan darah akibat terkena serangan pacat yang bertubi-tubi sepanjang aktiviti berlangsung...moga aktiviti sebegini akan terus diadakan untuk masa-masa akan datang.
