Question

Both natural products and synthetic products come from natural resources. Explain why this statement is true.

Answer 1

Explanation:

All resources used in making all products can be traced to their natural origin. What differentiates a natural product from a synthetic one is the level of processing that goes into making synthetic products.

• For example, a synthetic product such as plastic is actually derived from natural product.
• Instead of using the sap of rubber plants for making this product, scientists engineered a way to produce plastics from petroleum products which are derived from crude oil.
• Most synthetic products are merely products of alternate source of manufacturing which are well engineered.
