margarine is a synthetic material that is consumed as a food. the simplified chemical reaction shown below is used in the
process of producing margarine. it shows that fats from plants and hydrogen (from water) are used to make a substance called
hydrogenated oil.
oil compounds from plants + hydrogen → hydrogenated oil
next, water is mixed with the hydrogenated oil and the semi - solid material margarine is the result.
which of the following is a natural resource that is used to produce margarine?
□ water
□ plants
□ butter
□ hydrogenated oil

Explanation:

Natural resources are materials from nature used in production. The problem states plant oil compounds and hydrogen (from water) are used to make hydrogenated oil, then water is mixed with it to make margarine. Plants and water are natural resources; butter is a dairy product (not used here), and hydrogenated oil is a processed product.

Answer:

water, plants
