Which of the situations below describes an ethical dilemma related to food
engineering?
a. organic produce spoils more quickly and is harder to grow
because it does not use pesticides.
o
b. irrigation systems can be used to water large fields of agricultural
crops.
o
c. a fruit-growing company uses a pesticide to protect its pineapples
from being eaten before harvest
o
d. pesticides protect our crops, but some studies show that they
cause consumers to gain weight.

The best situation that describes the ethical dilemma related to food engineering is that Pesticides protect our crops, but some studies show that they cause consumers to gain weight.

Option D

Explanation:

Ethical dilemma is a generally known as a decision making problem which might have both positive and negative causes.  In the above case, All other option such as A, B, C doesn’t seems to be having both positive and negative causes.

But option D gives us both a positive and negative causes of the pesticides that it protects but on the other hand also causes weight gain to the consumers.  Hence option D can be concluded as the correct answer.

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7
