Question

Foods that allow microorganisms to grow are called parasites.*
True
False

Answer 1

Foods that allow microorganisms to grow are not called parasites, so the answer is false. Parasites are organisms that live at the expense of other organisms and cause harm to other organisms.

Answer 2

Answer: The given statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a plant or animal is able to live inside or on another living organism and is able to draw its nourishment from that living organism then it is known as a parasite.

For example, tapeworms, flees etc are parasites.

Since, food is a non-living thing so, there will be bacteria or other microorganisms along with parasites. But foods that allow microorganisms to grow are called parasites, is a wrong statement.

Thus, we can conclude that the given statement is false.
