Statement 1: Proteins which undergo proteolysis do not vary by nutritious values from native protein.
True, False
True, True
False, False
False, True
Explanation:

Pork has a higher shelf life than beef.
True
False
Explanation:
Beef has a higher shelf life than pork. Beef can stay for two years without becoming rancid whereas pork cannot stay after six months of storage.

Statement 1: Changes in chicken and fish flesh such as decomposition due to enzymes is desirable.
True, False
True, True
False, False
False, True
Explanation:
Changes in chicken and fish flesh such as decomposition due to enzymes is NOT desirable as it leads to aging. Whereas Decomposition in beef is desirable as it makes the beef more tender.
