Question 8 • TPS EdX Biology

A student is riding the bus to school. As he rides, he studies a worksheet for a quiz while listening to music on his smartphone. Once he arrives at school, he sits at his desk in homeroom. Which resource in the scenario is renewable?

Answer
A
the aluminum used to make the desk
B
the diesel used to fuel the bus
C
the paper used to print the work sheet
D
the plastic used to make the smartphone

Explanation

Paper comes from trees, which can be replanted and grown again, so the paper used for the worksheet is a renewable resource. Diesel and most plastic come from fossil fuels that take millions of years to form, while aluminum is a mineral resource rather than a renewable one.
