What to Focus On

  • Microorganisms are very small organisms seen only under a microscope.
  • Bacteria have primitive nuclear material without a nuclear membrane and an outer capsule.
  • Curd is formed by bacterial action on lactose in milk.
  • Agriculture includes crop growing and animal rearing.
  • Cereal crops, pulses, oil-seeds, root crops, tuber crops, sugar crops, plantation crops, and fibre crops are grown in India.
  • Food crops are grown for food; cash crops are grown for trade and business.
  • Horticulture deals with fruits, vegetables, flowers, mushrooms, algae, and medicinal plants.
  • Ornamental plants are also part of horticulture.
  • Organic farming avoids synthetic fertilisers and pesticides.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All microorganisms are harmful and cause disease.

Curd is made by adding only one type of bacterium.

Cheese is made in the same simple way as curd, so the steps do not matter.
