THEORY

1. This the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, animal cells and tissues in the
laboratory under favourable condition with the right temperature

b. Sterilization of culture media, glasswares etc

preparation of agar

pour the agar in a petri dish and allow to cool

introduction of microorganism in the petri dish and cover immediately

inoculation of microorganism

incubation

observe for any microbial characteristics for 24 or 48 hours


c . Safety precaution measures were properly taken such as wearing of glove, lab coat, face mask

Washing of hands before and after preparation of agar solution

Avoid talking, coughing and sneezing

All instruments should be sterilized

2. Agricultural Programmes Aimed at Increasing Food Production

Green Revolution

Operation feed the nation

International institute of tropical agriculture(IITA), Ibadan

Cocoa research institute of Nigeria

B.. Five Ways by Which Government Can Improve Food Production in Nigeria

1.Provision of Subsidies and Financial Support

2. Investment in Agricultural Research and Development

3. Improvement of Rural Infrastructure

4. Extension Services and Farmer Education

5. Market Access and Fair Pricing

C. Major Consequences of Food Shortage in the World Growing Population

i. Malnutrition and Health Problems

ii. Economic Instability and Poverty

iii. Social Unrest and Conflict

3. Differences between Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons


Monocotyledons Dicotyledons
Possess only one seed leaf or cotyledon Possess two seed leaf or cotyledon
Possess parallel venation Possess net venation
They do not undergo secondary growth They undergo secondary growth
There is presence of xylem There is presence of xylem
They have fibrous root system They have tap root system

3. Agricultural Practices and Their Effects on Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons

1. Use of Herbicides

Effect: Selective herbicides target specific weeds without harming the crop. However, non-
selective herbicides can damage both monocots and dicots if not used correctly.

Control: Use herbicides with caution, adhere to recommended dosages, and select herbicides that
are specific to the types of weeds present.

2. Crop Rotation

Effect: Beneficial in reducing soil-borne diseases and pests that affect both monocots and dicots.
It helps in maintaining soil fertility.

Control: Implement diverse crop rotations to avoid specific pest build-ups and to replenish soil
nutrients.

3. Irrigation Practices

Effect: Proper irrigation promotes healthy growth of both monocots and dicots. Over-irrigation
can lead to waterlogging and root diseases.

Control: Use efficient irrigation techniques like drip or sprinkler systems to optimize water use
and prevent water-related issues.

4. Pesticide Application

Effect: Pesticides protect crops from insect pests and diseases but can also harm beneficial
insects and lead to pesticide resistance.

Control: Use integrated pest management strategies, including biological control, to reduce
reliance on chemical pesticides.

5. Fertilizer Application
Effect: Enhances growth and yields of both monocots and dicots by providing essential
nutrients. Overuse can lead to nutrient leaching and environmental pollution.

Control: Follow soil test recommendations for balanced fertilizer application and use organic
fertilizers where possible.

4. Chemical control

Physical control

Biological control: involves the introduction of natural enemies of pest to control or keep the
pest population under control

Cultural control: involve the use of farm practices to prevent pests

b.Diseases: Causative Organism, Host, Symptoms, and Control Measures

Disease Causative Host Major Symptoms Control

5. The first law of thermodynamics states that when one form of energy is
converted into another, the total quantity of energy is constant (there is no net loss
or gain in energy) that is to say that energy is neither created nor destroyed.

Second Law Of Thermodynamics: The law states that when one form of energy
is converted into another, a proportion of it is converted into heat.

b. The second law shows that when energy flows through a food chain, only a
small proportion of the energy taken up by each link is transferred to the next step.
This is because at each transfer, most of the energy is lost as heat.

In the flow of energy from herbivore to carnivore, there is loss of usable energy.
This loss of energy means that les life can be maintained at highest trophic level.

6. Classification of Plants Based on Their Life Cycle

1. Annuals: Plants that complete their life cycle (germination, flowering, seed production, and
death) within one year (e.g., wheat, corn).

2. Biennials: Plants that take two years to complete their life cycle, typically forming vegetative
structures in the first year and flowering and producing seeds in the second year (e.g., carrots,
beets).

3. Perennials: Plants that live for more than two years, often producing flowers and seeds
annually after the initial growing period (e.g., trees, shrubs, many grasses).

b. Differences Between Angiosperms and Gymnosperms

Angiosperm Gymnosperm
They bear flowers They do not bear flower
Seeds are enclosed Seeds are naked
Seeds develop from ovules and are enclosed in Seeds are bore on cones
