During photosynthesis, plants transform the energy in sunlight into chemical energy by converting molecules of carbon dioxide and water into sugar and
oxygen molecules. What are two reasons scientists might use a model to
represent what happens during photosynthesis?
A. The molecules involved in photosynthesis are too small to see
with an optical microscope.
B. It is too dangerous to study the plants in which photosynthesis
occurs.
I c. Photosynthesis is too complex to be able to use experiments to
learn how it works.
D. The steps of photosynthesis occur too quickly to show each one
as it happens.
