  3.    Carbohydrates - Cereals
  4.    Proteins - Pulses
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Vitamins - Pizza
:
B
Nutrients in the right proportions are required for the overall growth of our body.
Food items like oil, cheese, ghee, etc., are rich sources of fats.

  2.    weed
  3.    temperature
  4.    bacteria
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> temperature
:
C
The factors which influence crop production can be grouped into two types: biotic and abiotic. The factors which are related to living beings are called biotic factors. Non-living factorsare called abiotic factors. For example, salinity, temperature etc.
Question 13. Which of these is a foreign breed of cow?
  1.    Red Sindhi
  2.    Sahiwal
  3.    Jersey
  4.    Leghorn
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Jersey
:
C
Foreign breeds of coware used for breeding with indigenous breeds primarily to produce a superior breed having better qualities such aslonglactation periods.Jersey andBrown Swissare some examples offoreign breeds.
Question 14. Crop variety improvement is done to achieve which of the following objectives?
  1.    Higher yield
  2.    Degraded quality of the agricultural products
  3.    Lesser resistance to insects
  4.    Lesser resistance to pests
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Higher yield
:
A
The main goals of crop variety improvement are:
i. higher yield
ii. improved quality
iii.change in maturity period
iv. wider adaptability
v. desirable agronomic (plant/crop) characteristics
Question 15. Which of the following elements can be obtained by plants directly from air?
  1.    Iron
  2.    Boron
  3.    Carbon
  4.    Calcium
 Discuss Question

:
C
Small storage reservoirs which intercept and store the run-off of small catchment area are called tanks. Tanks are an important source of irrigation for far-flung villages. It acts as a artificial reservoirof any size.
Question 17. Crossing between two different species of the same genus is called interspecfic hybridisation.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    Reduced tolerance to high temperature
  4.    Reduced tolerance against frost
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Crossing between two different species of the same genus is called interspecific hydridisation. It is one of the methods used to improve plant characteristics.
Question 18. Animal based farming includes management of:
