what is meant by bio-mechanical engineerig?

I think they have to do with machines that support lives or save lives. It is not that easy of a major because you have to be a doctor (know about health, body, humans etc you know all the biology stuff) and also know about engineering (how to build a machine, mathematics, logic) so that you build a machine that solves a certain health problem or a machine that supports a sick person. For example, a biomechanical engineer would build a machine that pumps blood through a human's body, so that humans with heart problems can be supported. I think all the machines you see in hospitals are build by biomechanical engineers.

Bio chemistry is actually study of chemistry of the life process of biological entities. It deals with the metabolism of food materials, i.e. how energy is generated from these and how building blocks (like amino acid, proteins and nucleic acids) of the body are made from them and like wise.Similarly it deals with differt types of harmones within living beings.Moreover it is now a differnt discipline in the study of science and covers a very wide area.

biotechnology, the use of biological processes, as through the exploitation and manipulation of living organisms or biological systems, in the development or manufacture of a product or in the technological solution to a problem. As such, biotechnology is a general category that has applications in pharmacology, medicine, agriculture, and many other fields.\nThe techniques of genetic engineering have been used to manipulate the DNA (genetic material; see nucleic acid) of bacteria and other organisms to manufacture biological products such as drugs (insulin, interferon, and growth hormones). A common technique involved in this process in gene splicing, in which a gene that produces a desired product can be inserted into bacterial DNA. Bacteria can then be grown in large quantities and processed to extract the desired substance; specially cultured plant and animal cells can be similarly grown and processed. Hybrids of cancer and antibody-producing cells (hybridomas) have been cloned in the laboratory to mass produce experimental monoclonal antibodies, which are being studied for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Bacteria have also been altered to break down oil slicks and industrial waste products.\n\nPlants and foods with such desired qualities as prolonged shelf life or increased resistance to diseases and pests have been created through genetic engineering; that is, by inserting DNA from other organisms. Much of the corn and soybeans grown in the United States, for example, are now genetically modified in some way, Livestock have also been genetically altered to produce medically useful substances (see pharming). The field of biotechnology also includes gene therapy, in which attempts are made to insert normal or genetically altered genes into cells to treat genetic disorders and chronic diseases.\n\nGreen biotechnology is biotechnology applied to agricultural processes. An example is the designing of an organism to grow under specific environmental conditions or in the presence (or absence) of certain agricultural chemicals. One hope is that green biotechnology might produce more environmentally friendly solutions than traditional industrial agriculture. An example of this is the engineering of a plant to express a pesticide, thereby eliminating the need for external application of pesticides. An example of this would be Bt corn. Whether or not green biotechnology products such as this are ultimately more environmentally friendly is a topic of considerable debate.

It is the developing of technologies on the molecular scale in the field of biology. That's really the only way to describe it, I think. Why not look it up on wikipedia?

Might want to be slightly more specific in the question.\n\nCloning, can refer to the copying of a complete individual. Or it can mean a single cell's complete genome has been copied for use in a gene library so that a specific gene can be separated out and studied.\n\nGenetic engineering, is manipulating the genes of a plant or animal, so that deleterious phenotypes, or even advantageous phenotypes can be bread in or out. Say like making a tomato last longer or stay nice and shiny red.

By definition, Bio-Cosmetics is the study of the beauty of living things in their natural forms and functions. In practise include means that enhance the appearance without altering physiology (e.g. topical applications, braces, etc)

Genetic Engineering is that branch of Biology or life science in which the gene structure of organism is altered to suit a particular purpose. In other words, it is gene manipulation.  This branch will be very helpful to make life easier to the increasing population on earth.\nExamples 1) At present rice grain is more rich in starch and poor in proteins. By application of this method the protein content of rice can be increased.\n2) Disease resistant genes can be introduced in crop plants.\n3) Bacteria can be made to produce life saving drugs at a cheaper cost. \nThus the applications are many and varied.

Can you explain your Q more?\nbut I can say genetic regultaion is very important in biotech\nfrom the simplest task like protein expression \n( we need to control the expression by gene regulation such as using lac operon so that the protein which may be toxic or unnatural to the host can be expressed in desirable time)\nto very advance task gene regulation is heavily involved

Biotechnology is aplication of technology to biological syatems so as to maximise the use of microorganisims.\nThere is no perfect definition for biotechnology.\nGnetic enginerring is one field of biotechnology where genes are manipulated.\nso genetic engineering is one field of biotechnology.

Biology is the study of life and it involves anything that is about living organisms.  also, you can learn about the processes that supports the marvels of life/ how organisms work.  Very interesting and lots of hands on to see things working according to theory.

Biochemical involves extracting quantities of something. Since extraction processes are not always that great (resulting in very little product for lots of input) you have to start out with greater quantities of unextracted material.

Biotechnology is a technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine.\n\nOf the many different definitions available, the one formulated by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity is one of the broadest:\n\n"Biotechnology means any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use." (Article 2. Use of Terms) \nBiotechnology can also be defined as the manipulation of organisms to do practical things and to provide useful products.\n\nOne section of biotechnology is the directed use of organisms for the manufacture of organic products (examples include beer, milk products, and skin). Naturally present bacteria are utilized by the mining industry in bioleaching. Biotechnology is also used to recycle, treat waste, clean up sites contaminated by industrial activities (bioremediation), and produce biological weapons.

Its huge! Genetic engineering is a very dynamic and versatile field...its not only a bio-medical field, but it is used in agriculture, research, microbiology, and so much more. I would recommend talking to a school counselor or advisor, perhaps even a biology teacher. They will tell you more about the field.
