SCENARIO A
Anthropologists have been studying the role of soybean curd and related
products in the culture of Hong Kong. The researchers interview people
about how frequently they eat soybean products, where they eat them (at
home or in restaurants), and during what time of day they eat them. The
researchers also ask people about how they prepare soybean products,
where they obtain soybean products, and any beliefs they might have about
soybean products (such as their nutritional value). The data are used to
assess the role of soybean products in the culture. The researchers are also
considering how their findings relate to global soybean consumption
patterns.

How did air pollution affect the light-colored peppered moths? Pollution caused the trees to turn a darker color. The light-colored peppered moths were not able to camouflage themselves against the trees to protect themselves from birds. Pollution turned the light-colored moths a darker color, and they were unable to camouflage themselves against the light-colored trees. Pollution poisoned the moths, killing off the entire species.
