What makes bio big and worthless? (4-3-7)

I believe the answer is:

good-for-nothing

'worthless?' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for good-for-nothing that I've seen before include "Worthless person" , "Waster" , "Ultimate sale bargain" .)
