Fermentation is the process by which yeast converts sugars (such as glucose) into alcohol and releases carbon dioxide gas.
Cholera can be prevented by
Cholera is a bacterial disease caused by a bacterium called Vibrio Cholerae. A person can get cholera by drinking water or eating food contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio Cholerae. We can prevent cholera by maintaining personal hygiene and good sanitation, drinking boiled water, and eating properly cooked food.

Vaccines work
Vaccines contain disease-specific microbial strains that have been weakened or killed. When a vaccine is introduced into a healthy body, either orally or through injection, the body fights against the infection by producing suitable antibodies against the pathogen. These antibodies remain in the body, and the body also remembers how to fight when the same microbe enters the body again.
Farmers prefer to grow beans and peas in nitrogen-deficient soils.
Leguminous plants such as peas and beans have nitrogen-fixing bacteria called Rhizobium. Rhizobium present in the root nodules of leguminous plants helps in fixing atmospheric nitrogen and transforming it into nitrates and nitrites for plants' use. After harvesting, the roots are left in the soil, which results in the enrichment of the soil with nitrogen and increases its fertility. Therefore, farmers prefer to grow peas and beans in nitrogen-deficient soil.
Fresh milk is boiled before consumption while processed milk stored in packets can be consumed without boiling.
Boiling fresh milk is necessary to kill the harmful or disease-causing microorganisms present in it. On the other hand, processed milk is stored in packets and is safe to consume directly because it has been pasteurized. Pasteurized milk is boiled at 70 degrees Celsius and then cooled rapidly. As a result of pasteurization, all the microorganisms die and the milk becomes consumable.
