While viruses and fungi do play roles in other biological processes, they do not convert milk into curd.
Thus, the correct answer is Bacteria, as they are essential for this fermentation process.
Q11: A day on this planet lasts longer than a year. Which planet are we discussing? (a) Mercury (b) Jupiter (c) Venus (d) Saturn

Livestock farming is responsible for a large portion of global methane emissions, highlighting the environmental impact of animal agriculture.
Reducing methane emissions is crucial for addressing climate change and promoting sustainable farming practices.
Q14: Which of the following calamities can result from soil erosion? (a) Tornado (b) Hurricane (c) Floods (d) Earthquakes
Solution:
Ans: (c)
Floods can occur when soil erosion removes the top layer of soil, which is essential for absorbing rainwater. This leads to increased runoff.
When the soil is eroded, it can no longer hold water, causing it to flow into rivers and streams, which may overflow.
Soil erosion can also lead to the loss of vegetation, which normally helps to slow down water and absorb it.
Thus, the correct answer is Floods, as they are a direct consequence of soil erosion.
