Verified by Experts

(a) (i) Microbes like spirulina can be grown easily on material like waste waiter from potato processing plants , straw , molasses of food rich in proteins.
(ii) 250 g of microorganism ,Methylophilus mrthltrophus can produced about 200 g of protein per day . thus SCP can be used as an alternate source of proteins for human nutrition.
(b) Although th eplants is infested with a virus , the meristen is free of virus . Hence the meristem can be grown in invitro condition to obtain virus free plants .

    The boiling point elevation and freezing point depression of solutions have a number of partical applications. Ethylene glycol (CH_(2)OH-CH_(2)OH) is used in automobile radiatiors as an antifreeze because it lowers the freezing point of the coolant. The same substance also helps to prevent the radiator coolant from boiling away by elevating the boiling point. Ethylene glycol has low vapour pressure. We can also use glycerol as an antifreeze. In order for the boiling point elevation to occur, the solute must be non-volatile, but no such restriction applies to freezing point depression. For example, methanol (CH_(3)OH) , a fairly volatile liquid that boils only at 65^(@)C , is sometimes used as an antifreeze in automobile radiators. 124 g each of the two reagents glycol and glycerol are added in 5 kg of water of the radiators in two cars.
