Abstract
Biogenic refers to something that originates from or is created by biological forms. Although the term's original definition restricted its use to metabolite compounds that were detrimental to other organisms, it has since broadened to encompass all components, secretions, and metabolites of both plants and animals. Biogenic chemicals are known as biomolecules in molecular biology. Substances with a unit size between 1 and 100 nm are referred to as nanomaterials. Nanomaterials research approaches nanotechnology from a materials science perspective, drawing on advances in materials synthesis and metrology made possible by microfabrication research. Nanomaterials are widely used, especially in the pharmaceutical and biomedical industries, which has led to their rapid expansion as a huge field of study. Living organisms are involved in the production of biologically produced nanoparticles.
