By avoiding the use of antibiotics, steroids, growth hormones, and drugs, organic meat ensures that the animals are raised in a more natural and healthier manner.

     Non-organic food is more expensive than organic food? - ProProfs

     Non-organic food is more expensive than organic food?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Non-organic food is more expensive than organic food" is false. In general, organic food tends to be more expensive than non-organic food. This is because organic farming practices require more labor and resources, resulting in higher production costs. Additionally, organic certification and labeling processes also contribute to the higher price of organic food. However, there may be specific cases where non-organic food is priced higher due to factors such as rarity or high demand.

    You should store herbs in the refrigerator, wrapped in paper towel and placed in a plastic bag  - ProProfs

    You should store herbs in the refrigerator, wrapped in paper towel and placed in a plastic bag 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Storing herbs in the refrigerator helps to prolong their freshness and prevent them from wilting or spoiling quickly. Wrapping them in paper towel helps to absorb excess moisture and maintain their crispness. Placing them in a plastic bag further helps to create a controlled environment and prevent any odors from transferring to the herbs. Therefore, it is advisable to store herbs in the refrigerator, wrapped in paper towel and placed in a plastic bag.

    A herb:

    • Comes from the leaves of the plant.

    • Comes from the root, stalk and bark of a plant.

    • Comes from the flowers of a plant.

    • Comes from the supermarket.

    Correct Answer
    A. Comes from the leaves of the plant.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "comes from the leaves of the plant" because herbs are typically derived from the leaves of plants. Herbs are known for their aromatic and flavorful properties, which are mainly concentrated in the leaves. While other parts of the plant, such as the root, stalk, and bark, can also be used for medicinal or culinary purposes, herbs are specifically associated with the leaves. Therefore, the answer that best aligns with the definition of a herb is that it comes from the leaves of the plant.
