biotechnology has 3 distinct synonyms spread across 2 of its 2 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
the branch of molecular biology that studies the use of microorganisms to perform specific industrial processes
“biotechnology produced genetically altered bacteria that solved the problem”
the branch of engineering science in which biological science is used to study the relation between workers and their environments
Synonyms, antonyms and the broader and narrower relations for biotechnology come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Full sources and licences.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
