Language is an evolving technology.
Sometimes our appreciation of terms is accurate and sometimes it is not.

In this case, this seems to be an example where the termm is question can refer to :-

Métabolismes spécifiques aux plantes, algues et bactéries photosynthétiques. Photosynthèse anaérobique, mécanismes moléculaires de fixation des nutriments inorganiques, biosynthèse d'alcaloïdes et de toxines. Biotechnologie végétale.
