Study Notes
Preparation of yeast culture
- A cotton plug is placed on the mouth of the test tube to prevent contamination from air and other external sources.
Preparation of yeast culture
- Yeast culture is prepared by adding a small amount of yeast to a test tube containing a sugar solution.
Observation of Mould
- Mould is observed in the activity by leaving a slice of bread in a suitable environment for a few days, allowing the growth of mould.
Conditions for Mould Growth
- The slice of bread is recommended to be kept in a warm, humid, and dark place to observe mould growth.
Mode of Reproduction
- Unicellular organisms mentioned in the text reproduce by a process of binary fission, where the cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
