En un esquema señala cuáles son los diferentes ramas industriales y su importancia
Serhud [2]

La respuesta correcta a esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Las diferentes ramas industriales son las siguientes. Primero, lo que se conoce como la industria básica. Luego, la industria manufacturera y la industria de la transformación. Cuando hablamos de la industria básica estamos hablando de las empresas que se encargan de extraer la materia prima y los recursos naturales, como lo hacen las empresas petroquímicas o las que extraes los metales y minerales de la tierra. Cuando se han extraído los materiales, se mandan a fábricas para que los transformen en productos. Ahí es donde entra la industria de la transformación, que convierte los recursos naturales en textiles. Finalmente la industria manufacturera fabrica la ropa que nos ponemos todos los días. O cualquier otro producto de consumo público.

La importancia de estas industrias es que son vitales para la vida económica de un país. Si no existieran, no habría forma de transformar la materia prima o recursos naturales en los productos que usamos todos los días.
