Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Adepcore change is the modified condition of decomposition in the dead body.
Statement II: There is hydrolysis and hydrogenation of fatty acid in the presence of water in adepcore change.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
• C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Hint:

Adipocere formation is a complex process that involves hydrolysis and hydrogenation of fatty acids in the body.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

- Statement I: Adepcore change is actually the process of decomposition of fatty tissue in a dead body, turning it into a waxy substance called adipocere. This statement is false because it does not describe the precise process correctly.
- Statement II: Hydrolysis and hydrogenation of fatty acids in the presence of water is an essential part of the formation of adipocere, which occurs during the decomposition process. This statement is true. Thus, the correct answer is (4), where Statement I is false but Statement II is true.
