Pure research asks “what is it?” or “how does it work?”
Applied research looks at developing new materials.
Studying the structure of the atom.
Developing better detergents.
Sometimes, there are “in-between” situations. Pure research studied the
hemoglobin molecule in sickle cell disease that led to being able to do applied
research to develop treatments.

The stored energy is transferred to its surroundings as thermal, sound, and
kinetic energy.
5. Food is considered stored energy because the energy is released during
digestion, in which food is broken down and new compounds are created through
chemical reactions.
6. Coal energy is harnessed through burning, which produces thermal energy.

What are the differences between an agricultural chemist and a food chemist?
What are the roles of a soil and plant chemist?
Answers
1. Works on aspects of crop and animal production, food safety, quality, nutrition,
processing, packaging, and utilization of materials including bioenergy.
2. Basic – study properties of proteins, fats, starches, and carbohydrates, and
additives and flavorants to determine how they work in a food system. Applied –
develop additional ways to use ingredients or develop new ingredients.
3. Agricultural chemists develop new chemicals to increase crop production and
yield, defend against pests, and protect the environment. Food chemists focus on
processing, packaging, preserving, storing, and distributing foods in ways that
are safe, economical, and appealing.
4. Soil and plant chemists study the composition of soil and its effects on plant
group and development. Their work focuses on conservation and management.

Describe deductive reasoning.
Develop your own example of deductive reasoning.
What is a syllogism?
Describe inductive reasoning.
What is abductive reasoning?
Answers
1. Deductive reasoning takes a general statement, or hypothesis, and then uses it
to reach a specific and logical conclusion.
2. Answers will vary. Example: All mammals have hair. A lion is a mammal.
Therefore a lion has hair.
3. A form of deductive reasoning, which uses a major and a minor premise to reach
a conclusion. If all A are B, and C is a form of A, then C is B is an example of a
syllogism.
4. Inductive reasoning takes a specific observation and uses it to make a broad
generalization.
5. Abductive reasoning takes an incomplete set of observations and uses that to
find the most likely explanation for the set of observations.

2. Aristotle observed the world around him.
3. Inductive reasoning – developing a general conclusion from a collection of
observations. I conclude the sun will rise in the east tomorrow morning because I
have observed it to do so on many occasions.

If I drop a ball, it will fall to the ground because of eh law of gravity.
5. A hypothesis is an educated guess based on a small amount of data, while a
theory is based on extensive observations.
6. A theory offers an explanation what why something happened, but a law simply
states what will be observed.
