Question

  1. read the section \how can i digest it? cellulose\. which sentence from the section shows why corn kernels need cellulose?

a. watson said the kernels had been digested quite a bit.
b. the yellow kernels in your poo are only the corn kernels outer coating, says andrew watson.
c. scientists have picked those kernels from the poo to see what they were made of.
d. it protects the dna from weather, pests and transport.

  1. read the following paragraph from the section \processing breaks down fiber\. \cellulose makes up only about one - tenth of corn, watson said. the other nine - tenths is mostly starch. corn is also a good source of fiber and antioxidants, which are substances that help protect cells from damage.\

which of the following is an accurate explanation of what this paragraph means?
a. most of corn is made of cellulose and it digests easily.
b. corn has very little fiber that the body can break down.
c. corn has antioxidants that cause harm by people.
d. most of corn is nutritious and the body can use it.

  1. what effect do enzymes have on the digestive process?

a. they help to make nutrients and carry them in the bloodstream.
b. they help to make fiber and cause it to leave the body.
c. they speed up digestion and break food pieces into smaller molecules.
d. they slow down digestion and cause food particles to become poo.

  1. what type of macromolecule are enzymes that are responsible for breaking down food?

a. carbohydrate b. lipid c. protein d. nucleic acid

  1. what is the relationship between processing and nutrients?

a. processing food causes food to have too many nutrients.
b. we can access more nutrients if food is less processed.
c. processing food causes food to lose all of its nutrients.
d. we can access more nutrients if food is more processed.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Analyze each option based on the text about corn kernels and digestion - related knowledge.
  • For question 1, the text likely discusses the role of kernels and cellulose. Option d is correct as kernels protect DNA.
  • For question 2, the text mentions that cellulose is a small part of corn and corn has nutrients. Option d is correct as it aligns with the idea that most of corn is nutritious and usable by the body.
  • For question 3, enzymes speed up digestion and break food into smaller molecules, which is a well - known biological fact. Option c is correct.
  • For question 4, enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions, including food breakdown. Option c is correct.
  • For question 5, less processed food generally retains more nutrients. Option b is correct.

Answer:

  1. d. It protects the DNA from weather, pests and transport
  2. d. Most of corn is nutritious and the body can use it
  3. c. They speed up digestion and break food pieces into smaller molecules
  4. c. protein
  5. b. We can access more nutrients if food is less processed
