Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Fruits and vegetables have antioxidants that are compounds that may neutralize free-radical molecules in the tissues. These free-radical molecules can react with proteins, DNA, and fats in the cells and can cause changes in the cells that cause them to grow into a tumor.

Fruits and vegetables also contain high levels of vitamins such as Vitamin C and folate. Vitamin C is an antioxidant molecule and folate is a B vitamin that helps to control the growth of cells.

Fruits and vegetables contain fibers that help the body eliminate wastes from the large intestine. This reduces the risk of inflammation and toxin build up that could lead to the development of some types of cancers.
