2. Explain the following :

Question A.
Cooking makes food easy to digest.
Answer:

Hence, cooking makes food easy to digest.



Question B.
On cutting some fruits and vegetables turn brown.
Answer:
i. Cutting of fruits and vegetables damage the cells, resulting in release of chemicals.
ii. Depending on the pH of fruits/vegetables, polyphenols are released.
iii. Due to the action of an enzyme, these polyphenols react with oxygen present in the air and get oxidised to form quinones.

iv. Quinones further undergo reactions including polymerization, which results in the formation of brown coloured products called as tannins.
Thus, on cutting, some fruits and vegetables turn brown.

Answer:



4. Give two differences between the following

Question A.
Disinfectant and antiseptic
Answer:

Disinfectant	Antiseptic
1. Disinfectants are applied on non-living surfaces like floors, instruments, sanitary ware, etc. to kill wide range of microorganisms.	1. Antiseptics are applied on the surface of living tissues in order to sterilise them.
2. Disinfectants cannot be applied on wounds.	2. Antiseptics can be directly applied on wounds.
3. p-chloro-o-benzyl phenol	3. Iodine, boric acid, iodoform, dettol, etc.

Question B.
Soap and synthetic detergent
Answer:

Soap	Synthetic detergent
1. Soaps can be broadly classified into two types, i.e., toilet soaps (prepared using KOH) and laundry soaps (prepared using NaOH).	1. Synthetic detergents are of three types, i.e., anionic, cationic and nonionic detergents.
2. Soaps cannot be used in hard water.	2. Synthetic detergents can be used in soft water as well as in hard water.

Question C.
Saturated and unsaturated fats
Answer:

Saturated fats	Unsaturated fats
1. In saturated fat, long chains of tetrahedral carbon atoms in the fatty acid get closely packed together.	1. In unsaturated fats, the presence of one or more C = C bond in long chains of fatty acids, prevent molecules from packing closely together.
2. In saturated fats, the van der Waals forces between long saturated chains are strong. Hence, their melting points are higher than unsaturated fats.	2. In unsaturated fats, the van der Waals forces between long unsaturated chains are weak. Hence, their melting points are lower than saturated fats.

Question D.
Rice flour and cooked rice
Answer:

Rice flour	Cooked rice
1. Rice flour can be stored for a long period of time. It has a long shelf life.	1. Cooked rice cannot be stored for a longer period of time. It has very short shelf life.
2. Rice flour is uncooked food and hence, it is difficult to digest.	2. Cooked rice is easier to digest.
