•In 13 question, antioxidants are oxygen scavenging compounds, highly important in nature.

•Presence of oxygen causes oxidation of fat content of food and hence rancidification.

•In 14 question, respiration is an exothermic process.

•Exothermic process refers to the process where energy is released, while the endothermic process refers to the process where energy is absorbed during the reaction.

•Digestion and oxidation of food refer to the breakdown of food into its monomeric components.

•This is done to make it easy for the body to absorb and provide it to the required cells and tissues.
