46. Describe Fermentation? Explain the Fermentation of glucose solution with the help of the balanced   

      equation? State any two types of Fermentation? And also state the two uses of Fermentation? Give its    

      By-products?

Ans: -1. The process in which complex organic compounds are converted into simple organic ones with  

          The help of micro organisms is called fermentation. 2. Fermentation is actually anaerobic respiration  

          By which micro organisms obtain energy required for their life processes. 3. Baker’s yeast which

          Produces the enzyme Zymase is the common fermenting microbe. 4. During Fermentation sugar such as

          Glucose is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide and energy is released. 5. The overall changes 

          Involved during Fermentation can be represented by the following equation:

 

          C₆H₁₂O₆ --------- 2C₂H₅OH         +       2CO₂           Energy

           Glucose            Ethyl alcohol             Carbon

                                                                        Dioxide

6. Carbon dioxide produced during the process is returned to the atmosphere.

Two types of Fermentation: - 1. Alcoholic fermentation         2. Lactic acid fermentation

Two uses of Fermentation: - 1. The process of fermentation is of great use in the manufacture of alcohol.

2. The curing of tea and tobacco leaves are the other uses of fermentation

By-products are: - 1. Ethyl alcohol          2. Carbon dioxide

47. State any four diseases in children which are controlled by immunization launched by World Health

      Organisation (WHO)

Ans: - 1. Whooping cough 2. Tetanus 3. Polio 4. Tuberculosis 5. Measles.
