15.  Apoptosis is the process of programmed
cell death.
 It is used during early development to
eliminate unwanted cells; for example,
those between the fingers of a developing
hand.
 In adults, apoptosis is used to rid the body
of cells that have been damaged beyond
repair.
 Apoptosis also plays a role in preventing
cancer.
 If apoptosis is for some reason prevented, it
can lead to uncontrolled cell division and
the subsequent development of a tumor.

16.  Apoptosis, also called programmed cell death, in biology, a
mechanism that allows cells to self-destruct when stimulated
by the appropriate trigger.
 Apoptosis can be triggered by mild cellular injury and by
various factors internal or external to the cell; the damaged
cells are then disposed of in an orderly fashion.
 In the 20th century the medical significance of cell death
was recognized by Australian researcher John Foxton R.
Kerr and Scottish scientists Andrew H. Wyllie and Alastair
Currie.
 In a paper published in 1972, they used the
term apoptosis (from the Greek word meaning “falling off,”
as leaves do in autumn) to describe the occurrence of
apoptotic cells in human tissues.

23.  The importance of balanced nutrition and its impact
on overall health.
 Nutrients: Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and
minerals.
 Benefits of a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole
grains, and lean proteins.
 Understanding portion control and moderation in eating
habits.
 Healthy cooking methods and food preparation
techniques.

24.  Exploring traditional cuisines from various cultures and
their significance.
 Preservation and promotion of indigenous food
practices.
 Health benefits of traditional foods, such as medicinal
properties, immune system support, and digestive
health.
 Sustainability and environmental impact of traditional
food practices.

25.  India is unique in its own way.
 It is not confined to one culture or one language, but has
several cultures flowing through its vast lands and many
languages are spoken.
 It is multi-cultural and multi-lingual unit, encompassing
people from various social and ethnic backgrounds.
 A food system which has a long tradition would never be
changed immediately.
 Change of place, change of career would be the reasons for
this to happen.
 Apart from these, political and historical reasons may also
cause changes in a particular food system, thereby creating
society’s health and total food insecurity.
 We can identify some of the important reasons for the change
in traditionally developed food sequence.

26.  One strong influence over Indian foods is the longstanding
vegetarianism within sections of India's Hindu, Buddhist
and Jain communities.
 People who follow a strict vegetarian diet make up 20–
42% of the population in India, while less than 30% are
regular meat-eaters.
 Traditionally, some states in India have their own unique
dishes, which they often prepare during religious and
social gatherings.
 Served at nearly every meal, vegetables are one of India’s
most significant ingredients.
 India’s perfected vegetable cookery offers rich and flavorful
dishes, ranging from appetizers and side dishes to entrees
and fried, roasted, braised, sautéed, pureed and stuffed.

27.  While meat, poultry, fish and seafood dishes are offered
throughout India, most vegetarian specialities are found
in the central and southern regions.

30.  Traditional foods have started entering into the market
in a new ‘avatar’ now.
 With long shelf-life and new packing techniques, the
idli, vada and gulab jamun mixes have adorned the
shopping malls today.
 There has been a drastic change in the eating habits
of the Indians due to the transition in their
lifestyles.
