How can “biomimicry” be described?
A
when a form of life is cloned
B
when scientists attempt to adopt animal qualities
C
when biologists study to become fossil hunters
D
when an engineer attempts to take a process in nature and replicate it in a new form of technology
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Biomimicry engineering is the practice of creating designs based on structures and sequences from the Earth’s natural world, including its plants, animals and geographies.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is called biomimicry: but really, what is it? Biomimicry-or biomimetics-is the examination of nature, its systems, its procedures, processes and elements to then take inspiration for new inventions that help humans solve problems in which they are facing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biomimicry is an exciting way to inspire pupils to observe the natural world and to develop a creative approach to problem solving by looking at nature for sustainable solutions. ‘Bio’ means life and ‘mimicry’ means to imitate. It involves learning from nature to improve the design of products, processes and systems.

Detailed explanation-4: -DEFINE. Clearly articulate the impact you want your design to have in the world (i.e. the challenge you want to solve) and the criteria and constraints that will determine success. BIOLOGIZE. Analyze the essential functions and context your design solution must address. DISCOVER. ABSTRACT. EMULATE. EVALUATE.
