Here is a summary of the passage:

Chili peppers, or chiles, contain a chemical called capsaicin. That chemical is what makes chiles seem hot. Receptors in our mouths sense capsaicin. The same receptors tell us when foods like pizza are too hot to eat. I don't like spicy foods, but I do like to eat pizza. You can find the best pizza in Italy.

Answer 1

No, this is not a good summary of the passage. The summary mentions chili peppers and their chemical capsaicin, but it does not mention that chiles seem hot because of capsaicin. The summary also does not mention anything about receptors in the mouth or how they determine if foods are too hot to eat. Additionally, the information about the author's personal preference for pizza and the statement about finding the best pizza in Italy is unrelated to the main topic of chili peppers.

Answer 4

Chili peppers are also known as chiles. They are fruits that grow on

pepper plants. There is a natural chemical in them. It's called
capsaicin (kap-SAY-sin). This makes chiles seem hot.
Receptors in your mouth can sense capsaicin. They also sense high
temperatures. Then they send danger signals to your brain. These
receptors, for example, alert your brain that a piece of pizza is too
hot to eat. The capsaicin in most chiles is safe. But the receptors
react as if the chiles were hot. Your brain interprets these signals to
mean you're being burned. That's why you feel pain.

Answer 5

Chili peppers, also known as chiles, are fruits that grow on pepper plants. They contain a natural chemical called capsaicin, which gives them their hot flavor. Receptors in our mouths can sense capsaicin and high temperatures, sending danger signals to the brain. These receptors alert the brain when a piece of pizza, for example, is too hot to eat. Although capsaicin in chiles is safe, the receptors react as if the chiles were hot, causing the brain to interpret the signals as pain.
