Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Bread is made of wheat. (T)

Reason:

• Typically, wheat-flour dough is cultured with yeast, allowed to rise, and then baked in an oven to produce bread.
• The presence of air pockets in bread is typically explained by the addition of yeast.
• The assertion is accurate.

2. Starch is very easily digested by our body.(F)

Reason:

• A variety of enzymes, including amylase, which catalyze the hydrolysis of starch into simple sugars, are secreted by salivary glands and the pancreas.
• Our stomach's hydrochloric acid would disintegrate the molecules of starch.
• The precise enzymes needed to digest complex sugars are not present in this organ.
• The given statement is false.

3. We need to eat lots of fats-rich food to stay healthy.(F)

Reason:

• A balanced diet should include fat.
• Saturated fat (found in animal products, coconut, and palm oils) and unsaturated fat (found in plant sources and fish) are both necessary for good health, but only in the proper amounts, proportions, and qualities.
• A diet high in salt and saturated fats can cause high blood pressure and cholesterol.
• The assertion is not accurate.

4. Roughage keeps our digestive system clean.(T)

Reason:

• The portion of plant-based foods (such as grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and beans) that the body is unable to digest is known as fiber or roughage.

• In fact, roughage has many positive effects on your gut health, including  eases bowel movements, reducing constipation, and nourishing good bacteria.  

• It flushes harmful carcinogens and cholesterol from the body, and passes through the body undigested, keeping your digestive system healthy.
• The given statement is true.

5. Cooking does not kill germs.(F)

Reason:

• Cooking can eradicate various germs, including bacteria and viruses.
• Bacteria and viruses in food are destroyed during conventional cooking methods like baking, frying, or microwave cooking.
• The assertion is not accurate.

6. Overcooking the food destroys its nutrients.(T)

Reason:

• The amount of nutrients lost from a food increases with cooking time.
• This happens because chemical reactions can take longer to complete.
• The effects of cooking can affect some vitamins more easily.
• Even with normal cooking, let alone overcooking, the amount of vitamin C in your food will be quickly depleted.
• The given statement is true.

7. Puri is dry roasted.(F)

Reason:

• Traditional Indian fried bread known as poori or puri is delectable and goes well with almost any main course.
• The assertion is not accurate.

8 We should not keep extra food in a refrigerator.(F)

Reason:

• We won't be able to eat the extra food if we don't keep it in the refrigerator because it will spoil.
• The given statement is false.
