Answer:
=> viruses considered as being borderline between living and non-living things because it show character of both living and non living.
=> the chemical breakdown of a substances by bacteria, yeast or other micro organisms typically involving effervencenes and the giving of heat.
it's helps in the fermentation of alcohol and organic acid from The breakdown of carbohydrate this process helps in the food beverage industry at an accelerated rate
=> micro organism help in decomposing of Dead plant and animals they worked as a decomposer without them these will be no decomposing of Dead organisms and hence lead to the health problem.
=> i) nitrogen
ii) the plant pea is leguminous crop which has nitrogen fixing bacteria called Rhizobium in its root nodules which help in fixing gas.
=> it take less time to prepare curd in summers as compared to preparing it in winter because in summer curd get sufficient temperature warmth moisture and air which is needed to grow microorganism but in winter it is not available easily.
=>
i) malaria :- anopheles mosquito( animal )
ii ) common cold :- air
iii ) tetanus :- soil
iv) typhoid :- water (contaminated water)
=> antibiotics are chemical which inhibits the growth of other microorganisms by affecting their life process
example :- tetracycline , streptomycin.
