Question #1
Consider statements about human nutrition: 1. Carbohydrates provide immediate energy. 2. Proteins are body-building foods. 3. Fats are not essential for the body. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Carbohydrates are the body's primary and most readily available source of energy, broken down into glucose for immediate cellular use. Proteins are essential 'body-building' foods, providing amino acids necessary for the growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues, muscles, and enzymes. Fats are essential macronutrients; they provide concentrated energy, are crucial for cell membrane structure, aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and provide essential fatty acids. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
Which of the following microorganisms is used in the production of bread?
A. Lactobacillus
B. Aspergillus niger
C. Saccharomyces cerevisiae
D. Streptococcus

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly called baker's yeast, ferments sugars to produce CO₂ and ethanol. The CO₂ causes dough to rise, giving bread its porous texture. Lactobacillus is used in yogurt and cheese making, Aspergillus niger in citric acid production, Streptococcus in some dairy ferments. Yeast is a unicellular fungus. Fermentation is an anaerobic process. Alcohol evaporates during baking.
