Answer 2

This is a false statement. The correct statement is- Our food gets spoiled when microorganisms begin to grow in it.

• This is because the microorganisms such as fungi produce certain toxins or chemicals during their growth.
• When microorganisms grow on food, chemical reactions occur. The food particles are broken down into amines which are responsible for foul smell and taste. This is called the spoilage of food. We cannot eat such food as it is harmful to our health.
