Question 1.

Complete the statements using the proper option from those given below. Explain the statements.

(Mycotoxins, budding, rhizobium)

A. Yeast reproduces asexually by the ............. method.

B. Toxins of fungal origin are called............. .

C. Leguminous plants can produce more proteins due to............. .


Answer:

A. Yeast reproduces asexually by the ....budding..... method. In budding, a small knob like structure bulge out from the parent yeast. This swollen structure is called bud. The bud grows and gets detach from the parent and becomes new yeast.


B. Toxins of fungal origin are called....mycotoxins.....


Some species of fungi example Mucor, grow on food items such as bread pickles, jam, sauce, chutney, etc. They use the nutrients of the food for their growth and reproduction. They also produce some poisonous chemicals in the food items. These chemicals are called mycotoxins


C. Leguminous plants can produce more proteins due to....rhizobium….


Rhizobium is a bacterium (plural bacteria) grows in the root nodules (bulb like structures) of plants such as soybean, ground nut, gram, etc. Rhizobium provides nitrates and amino acids to the plant and it takes carbohydrate from plants in exchange.

B. Fermentation is a process in which microorganisms such as bacteria and yeast, convert sugar (carbohydrate) into organic acid, alcohol etc.


Examples:


i. The lactobacilli bacteria convert lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid.


ii. Yeast convert the carbohydrates into alcohol and carbon dioxide.


C. Antibiotics are carbon compounds which are obtained from some bacteria and fungi and are used kill or stop the growth of harmful micro-organisms. For example: penicillin is an antibiotics which is obtained from a fungus Penicillium is used to kill bacteria.
