• The pest problem is also

lessened by growing many crops

at once. When several crops are
grown together, certain plants
act as insect deterrents to
protect the others. Tomatoes
and peppers, for instance, may
be grown next to garlic, onions,
and peppers. These crops
prevent pests, such as aphids,
from attacking tomatoes.
Bread
Yeast is a
microbe used

yeast

• Yeast functions by acting as one of

the leavening agents in the
fermentation process, which is
crucial for making bread. Any
leavener's main function is to
create the gas that causes bread to
rise. Yeast does this by consuming
the sugars in flour and producing
carbon dioxide while it does so.
