Question 1: Why does bread rise when you bake it?

When making bread, yeast consumes sugars in the dough and produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct. This carbon dioxide gets trapped in the dough, causing it to expand and rise during baking. The heat from baking also causes the trapped gas to expand further, contributing to the rising of the bread.

Question 3: If someone believes in their superiority or exaggerates their talents and achievements, what psychological term describes this behavior?

The term narcissism comes from the Greek myth of Narcissus, a man who fell in love with his own reflection. Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance and a constant need for admiration.
