Plasmodium causes dysentery.

Tomato wilt is a viral disease.

Organ of locomotion in amoeba is pseudopodia.

Lactobacilli are harmful bacteria.

Activity Take a moist piece of bread or bhakri and keep it in a container with lid for 2-3 days. After 2-3 days a fine cotton thread like tuft is found growing on the surface of the bread. Prepare a temporary mount of few threads from this culture and observe it under the microscope.

Activity Prepare a temporary mount of one drop of pond water on a glass slide. Observe it under low power and high power microscope.

Activity Take a small drop of curd or buttermilk on a clean glass slide. Dilute it with a little water. Carefully keep a coverslip. Observe it under high power of compound microscope. What did you see?
