Important exam questions with answers
What is handpicking?
Handpicking is a method of separating unwanted substances from a mixture by hand, based on differences in size, shape, or colour. It is used when impurities are few and easily visible.
Explain the process of threshing.
Threshing is the process of separating grains from harvested crop stalks by beating or using machines. It helps to remove grains that are attached to the stalks.
How does winnowing help in separation?
Winnowing separates lighter husk from heavier grains using wind. When the mixture is dropped from a height, the wind blows away the lighter husk while the heavier grains fall straight down.
