Select the first and the third.
- Yeast is an organism, and organisms are part of biology — this is relevant because biotechnology uses living organisms or their components.
- Yeast can be grown and used to help people meet their need for food — using a living organism to make a product (bread) is biotechnology.
The second statement is incorrect for this example: yeast itself isn't "developed through technology" (though strains can be improved, the basic example uses a living organism, not a technology-created organism).
