Aims of the component
1.To prepare the students with basic knowledge in bacteriology, virology and mycology.
2. Identify the importance of microbes in Agriculture, Food, Diary and Biotechnology.
3. Discuss various types and working principle of Microscopes, parts and their functions.
4. To impart knowledge of the basic principles of microbial nutrition,growth and control.
Intended learning outcomes
At the end of this component, you will be able to:
1. Identify major characteristics of prokaryotes & eukaryotes and their differences.
2. Identify the importance of microbes in Agriculture, Food and Biotechnology.
3. Discuss various types and working principle of Microscopes, parts and their functions.
4. Identify basic requirements for microbial nutrition & growth and various methods used to control microorganisms
Student Learning activities

Cell Slides File PDFStudents mustMark as doneA cell may be defined as a unit of protoplasm bounded by a plasma or cell membrane and possessing a nucleus. Protoplasm is the life giving substance and includes the cytoplasm and the nucleus. The cytoplasm has organelles such as ribosomes, mitochondria, golgi bodies plastids, lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum. Plant cells have in their cytoplasm large vacuoles containing non-living inclusions like crystals, pigments etc. The bacteria have neither organelles nor a well formed nucleus.236.0 KB
