Question

Why does the task of developing organic fertilizer fall under a bioengineer's responsibility rather than a
chemical engineer?

(1 point)

Chemical engineers are experts at transport of fertilizers, while bioengineers work in many fertilizer
technologies.

Bioengineers work with living matter, while chemical engineers work with inorganic substances.

Bioengineers develop fertilizers that do not harm the human body, while chemical engineers develop ones
that produce more yield.

Chemical engineers focus on industrial agriculture, while bioengineers focus on private farms.

The task of developing organic fertilizer falls under a bioengineer's responsibility rather than a chemical engineer primarily because **bioengineers work with living matter, while chemical engineers work with inorganic substances**. Organic fertilizers are derived from natural sources, including plant and animal materials, and involve biological processes and interactions, which align more closely with the expertise of bioengineers who specialize in biological systems and organisms.
