Vedclass · Answer

(D) Bran is the hard outer layer of cereal grains. It consists of the combined aleurone and pericarp. It is rich in dietary fiber and essential nutrients,but it is not primarily composed of starch,proteins,or lipids. However,in the context of typical multiple-choice questions regarding grain composition,bran is often associated with the fibrous outer layer that contains minerals and vitamins. Given the options provided and standard biological classification,bran is most accurately described as being rich in minerals and dietary fiber compared to the endosperm,which is predominantly starch.
