(a) Preparation of soil
Preparation of soil is the first step before growing of crop. It helps to turn the soil and loosen it to allow the roots to penetrate deep into it. The loosening of the soil helps in the growth of several soil microbes, earthworms etc., which enrich the soil with humus and other essential nutrients. The process of turning and loosening is called ploughing. This is done using a plough, hoe and cultivators.
(b) Sowing
Sowing is the process of putting the seeds into the soil for growing crops. We need to use quality seeds for sowing. Sowing is done manually using mechanical equipment like Seed Drill. Seeds of few plants like rice are first grown in a separate area and then transplanted in the fields.
(c) Weeding
In a field many other undesirable plants may grow along with the crop. These undesirable plants are called weeds. Farmers use many ways to remove weeds. Methods to control weeds are: tilling before sowing of crops, physical removal of weeds by uprooting or cutting them close to the ground, using certain chemicals called weedicides etc.
(d) Threshing
Threshing is the process of separating grains or seeds from chaff. It is done after harvesting the crop. It is usually carried out with the help of a machine known as ‘Combine’. This machine is a combined harvester and thresher. It harvests plants as well as cleans grains.

CO2 is a non-combustible gas and it is also non-supporter of combustion. It extinguishes fire in two ways:
1. Since it is heavier than oxygen, it covers the fire like a blanket and cuts off the contact between oxygen and fuel.
2. In cylinders, CO2 is kept in the liquid form. When released, it expands enormously and cools down. This brings down the temperature of the fuel, which helps in controlling the fire.

Na and K are very reactive metals and kept in kerosene oil to prevent it from coming in contact with oxygen and moisture as they react to form their hydroxides. This is an exothermic reaction and lot of heat is generated so both the metals are kept in kerosene oil.

the 4th friction is Fluid friction
Anu Patil 4 years, 11 months ago
Gaurav Seth 4 years, 11 months ago
Friction is defined as the force that opposes the motion of a solid object over another.
Friction is of 3 types
1)Static friction
2)Sliding friction
3)Rolling friction
Static friction
The maximum fictional force present between any two objects when one object just tends to move or slip over the surface of the other object ,is called static friction.Static friction is a kind of starting fiction because an object just tends to start moving, it does not actually move.
Sliding friction
The frictional force present when one object moves slowly or slides over the surface of another object is known as sliding friction
Rolling friction
When an object rolls over the surface of another object ,the resistance to its motion is called rolling friction.
It is always easier to roll than to slide an object over another object.So rolling friction is much less than the sliding friction.

Different fuels produce different amounts of heat on burning.
The amount of heat produced by the complete burning or combustion of 1Kilogram of a fuel is called its calorific value.
The calorific value of a fuel is expressed in the unit of Kilojoules per kilogram.
For Ex:The calorific value of kerosene is 45000KJ/Kg means when 1Kg of kerosene is burned completely then 45000 KJ of heat energy is produced.
The calorific value of a fuel is also known as heat value.
The calorific value of LPG is 55000KJ/Kg means when 1Kg of LPG is burned completely then 55000 KJ of heat energy is produced.

The role of Bacteria in Agriculture:
- Nitrogen-fixing bacteria
The conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into forms of nitrogenous compounds usable by plants is. bacteria living in the root nodules of legume plants fix nitrogen from the atmosphere. Microorganisms in the soil convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium compounds, thereby enabling the plants and animals. Nitrogen is an essential constituent of nucleic acids, chlorophyll and vitamins. Rhizobium, Azobacter and Clostridium are species of bacteria which are capable of converting atmospheric nitrogen into forms usable by plants. Plants cannot use nitrogen in elemental form; hence the role of the nitrogen-fixing bacteria becomes very important
- Nitrifying bacteria
Nitrifying bacteria convert nitrogenous waste from dead plants and animals present in the soil into nitrates by the process called as nitrification. In this process, certain ammonifying bacteria like Bacillus and Clostridium first convert nitrogenous waste into ammonia. This ammonia is then converted into ammonium compounds by the same ammonifying bacteria. The ammonium compounds are then converted into nitrites by nitrifying bacteria such as Nitrosomonas, Nitrococcus and then into nitrates by nitrifying bacteria such as Nitrobacter.
- Denitrifying bacteria
Denitrifying bacteria like Pseudomonas putida and Bacillus subtilis are also present in the soil. These bacteria break down nitrates in the soil and release free nitrogen gas, which then enters the atmosphere.
- Scavenging Role
Saprophytic bacteria obtain food from organic remains such as animal excreta, fallen leaves, meat etc. They decompose these substances by the action of digestive enzymes aerobically or anaerobically (known as fermentation). Thus they help in sanitation of nature, so also known as scavengers. E.g.Pseudomonas.
- Production of fuel
Bacteria, while converting animal dung and other organic wastes to manure, help in the production of fuel that is a must in gobar gas plant.
- Disposal of sewage
Bacteria help in disposal of sewage by decomposing it and thus, help in environmental sanitation.

Parts
Cell Membrane
- The outer boundary of cell enclosing nucleus and cytoplasm is called cell membrane or plasma membrane.
- The cell membrane separates cell and its components from the outside environment. Also, it separates cells from one another.
- The cell membrane is porous to specific ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of the cells. Therefore, the cell membrane is selectively permeable.
- It gives shape to the cell.
- In plant cells, there is an additional thick layer surrounding cell membrane called cell wall. The cell wall gives rigidity to the cell. It protects the plant cells against different environmental conditions like high wind speed, atmospheric pressure, etc. We can observe cells in the leaf peel of Tradescantia, Elodea, Rhoeo or onion peel.
Cytoplasm
- It is a jelly like fluid present between nucleus and cell membrane.
- Organelles like chloroplast, mitochondria, golgi apparatus, ribosomes, etc. are dispersed in cytoplasm.
Nucleus
- Generally, it is spherical in shape and located in the center of the cell.
- A membrane called nuclear membrane separates nucleus from the cytoplasm.
- The nucleus is the control center as it regulates all the activities of the cell.
- When nucleus is observed under microscope, a small spherical body in the nucleus was seen and called nucleolus. Also, it contains thread-like structures called chromosome. These chromosomes carry genetic material (genes) and help in inheritance/transfer of characters from parents to offspring.
- The nuclear membrane is porous and allows the movement of materials between cytoplasm and nucleoplasm (Nucleolus and Chromosomes).

Plough, Hoe & Cultivator are three important tools which help in soil preparation.
Plough
Tool used for ploughing . It is made of iron/ wood. It is pulled by a pair of animals like cows/ oxen/ horses and operated by the farmer through the handle. It has 3 important parts:
- Ploughshare: strong triangular iron strip
- Plough shaft: long log of wood
- Beam: stand placed on animals’ neck
Hoe
Hoe is a tool used for loosening soil. It is made of wood or iron. A strong iron plate attached to the long rod acts like a blade and helps to loosen the soil. It is also pulled by animals.
Cultivator
Cultivator is a tool used for ploughing. Manual as well as tractor driven cultivators are used. Tractor driven cultivators are fast, thus save time and also saves human labor.

This method is used to separate the mixture of two miscible liquids where difference between their boiling points is less than 25 ºC. Also to separate a mixture of two or more miscible liquids for which the difference in boiling points is less than 25 K, fractional distillation process is used, for example, for the separation of different gases from air, different factions from petroleum products etc. The apparatus is similar to that for simple distillation, except that a fractionating column is fitted in between the distillation flask and the condenser. A simple fractionating column is a tube packed with glass beads. The beads provide surface for the vapours to cool and condense repeatedly, as shown in following figure.

Petroleum was formed from dead organisms that got buried in the sea millions of years ago. These dead bodies got covered with layers of sand and clay. Lack of air, high temperature, and high pressure transformed these dead organisms into petroleum and natural gas.

Coal was formed by the decomposition of large land plants and trees buried under the earth 300 million years ago.About 300 million years ago,the earth had dense forest s in low-lying wet land areas.Due to natural processes like earthquake,volcanoes and floods etc these forests were buried under the surface of earth.As more soil deposited over them,they were compressed.The temperature also rose as they sank deeper and deeper.Due to high pressure and temperature inside the earth,and in the absence of air,the woods of buried trees was slowly converted into soil.
The slow process by which the dead plants buried deep under the earth have become coal is called Carbonisation.Since coal was formed from remains of plants therefore coal is called a fossil fuel.
When heated in air,coal burns and produce,mainly carbon dioxide gas.A lot of heat energy is also produced during the burning of coal.
Coal is an important because it can be used as a source of heat energy as such,or it can be converted into other forms of energy such as coal gas,coke or electricity.
