Microbes also play a vital role in fermenting idli/dosa batter. Idli/ dosa batter contain Urad pulses. These Urad seeds contain Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). These bacteria lead to the formation of Lactic acid and CO2. Formation of Lactic acid gives a sour taste to the batter. Therefore, the batter should not be fermented for too long, else it might turn too sour.

When a simple pendulum makes 10 oscillations in 20 seconds, the time taken for each oscillation = 20/10 = 2 seconds.
Hence, as the time period is calculated to be 2 seconds, the frequency of oscillation = 1/T = 1/ 2 = 0.5 Hertz.
Therefore, the frequency of that pendulum is found to be 0.5 Hz.

Food can be poisoned by microbes. Microbes produce toxic substances and thus, poison/ spoil the food. Consuming spoiled food can make us ill. Therefore it is very important to preserve food items so that microbes cannot grow & spoil them. Microbes just don’t attack any food item, they need a suitable environment to grow & survive. Only then, they can release toxic substances and thus spoil the food. Some factors which promote growth of microbes are moisture, warm temperature etc.

Gravity is a force that attracts a body towards the centre of the earth, or towards any other physical body having mass.
Every object that has mass exerts a gravitational pull or force on every other mass. The strength of this pull depends on the masses of objects at play. Gravity is what keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the moon around the Earth

Some of the diseases cause by bacteria are cholera,typhoid,tuberculosis,diphtheria etc.
Viruses
They are the smallest micro-organism which can develop only inside the cells of the host organism .
Viruses can reproduce and multiply only inside the cells of other organism .They are the agents of diseases.
The diseases caused by virus are common cold, influenza,measles,polio,chicken pox,small pox etc.

- The first method advocates the use of mosquito nets and mosquito repellent such as permethrin to prevent mosquitoes from biting.
- The second form of treatment uses a chemical called Quinine present in the bark of a cinchona tree. A form of drug chloroquine has proven very effective against malaria even though it is not a vaccine.

Methods of preventing malaria are:
(i) Use of insect repellants to prevent mosquito bite.
(ii) Wire-gauzing of "doors, windows and ventilators to check the entry of mosquitoes into the houses.
(iii) Periodic spray of insecticides (e.g., D.D.T. and B.H.C) to kill adult mosquitoes as well as spray of kerosene oil or insecticides on ponds, ditches etc. to kill the larvae.
(iv) Introducing larvivorous fishes (e.g., Gambusia, minnows, trouts) in water bodies. These fishes feed on mosquito larvae.

Preparation of soil: Soil is prepared before sowing the seeds. The soil is loosened to increase the absorption of water and manures. Loosening of soil particles adds humus and nutrients in the soil that increases crop yields. Tilling or loosening the soil is done by ploughs which are pulled by a pair of bulls.
