12) Explain at least two differences between a traditional pharmaceutical product and
II II II II II II II II II II
abiotechnology product.
II I II
Answer: A traditional pharmaceutical product is typically a small molecule synthesized
II II II II II II II II II II
bychemists and made into a pill form, which can be orally administered to a patient
II I II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
A biotechnology product is usually a large molecule that cannot be synthesized or taken orally.
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
Itmust be produced in a cell line, purified from the cell line, and ultimately formulated to be

administered to a patient by injection.

14) What are some nonscience job opportunities in a biotechnology company? Why would
II II II II II II II II II II II
itstill be useful to have some science background for these positions?
II I II II II II II II II II II II
Answer: Some nonscience biotechnology jobs include working in regulatory affairs,
I I II II II II II II II II
marketing, sales, and the legal department of the company. Because the company products are
II I II II II II II II II II II II II II
ultimately biological in nature, employees will better understand how to do their jobs if they
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
know the science as well. For example, if a sales representative does not understand any of the
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
science behind the product they are selling, they cannot easily answer any questions the
II II II II II II II II II II II II II II
prescribing physician might ask them.
