All knowledge builds off of other knowledge. We build off of things we know to grow knowledge further, rather then having every person discover everything again for themselves.
This concept is often simplified by the famous quote about standing "...on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more than they, and things at a greater distance...". -Bernard of Chartres
In this way, we take in the knowledge of the past, and improve it. Each generation does not have to invent the wheel in order to build the wagon, we don't have to invent the wagon to invent the cart, and we don't have to invent the cart to invent an automobile.
Modern science is in the same way reliant on the knowledge of other scientists. When knowledge is horded, that knowledge must be re-acquired by others just as wise as those who first discovered it, which takes away time they could have spent moving knowledge further.
This is a simplification of the core issue, though the addition of large financial investments and legal issues complicates it greatly.

What are the scientist contributions to science and technology?
By definition, science is created by scientists. There is no science without scientists, so the level of contribution of scientists to science is 100%. Technology requires science as well.
Scientists make mistakes or what?
Yes, scientists make mistakes. It's what happens in the world of science. It's how progress is made, through trial and error. If something doesn't work they try going at another angle. So, yes scientists make mistakes too
What leads scientists to ask questions?
Scientists are innately curious, they want to know the how what and why of everything they see but specifically in those areas that interest them. Isaac Asimovm a science fiction writer remarked that the progress of science is due to the scientists looking at something and saying "That's odd!" and finding out why. The curiosity of scientists rises from their intelligence, powers of observation, tenacity and ability to cross connect events to find answers,
Why is it important for scientists to share information?
When scientists share information, the pursuit of the science becomes collaborative. For example: by law, all science performed in Antarctica or anywhere south of 60 degrees South latitude, must be shared with all the nations that subscribe to The Antarctic Treaty. (Antarctica is a continent dedicated to science.) Most of what we know about the health of planet earth has resulted from this level of collaboration.
What is the importance of scientists to science?
Without scientists, what is science? Without no one to questions the bounds of our reality and understand of the world, there can be no science.
Why are scientists called scientists?
