Answer
1) Intoxicating substances should not be consumed because they harm the body directly or indirectly. Substances such as alcohol cause damage to the nervous system and the digestive system as well. Liver is the main organ which is affected by alcohol. Tobacco is one of the leading causes of oral cancer.
2) The hydrochloric acid present in our stomach dissolves bits of food and creates an acidic medium. In this acidic medium, enzyme pepsinogen is converted to pepsin, which is a protein-digesting enzyme.
3) Water is called the "universal solvent" because it is capable of dissolving more substances than any other liquid. ... Water molecules have a polar arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen atoms—one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge.
4) It is not proper to measure quantities by using body parts as units because these are not reliable and unique. These units of measurement vary from person to person. ... So, it becomes necessary to get the weights and measures standardized at regular intervals.
5) There is a possibility of food poisoning if we eat stale food because there are chances that it can be infested by microorganisms. Bacteria and fungi can infect the foods which are stored for longer durations of time. For example, the greenish powdery substance which is seen on stale bread is an example of fungus infection.
