Question

Chloe is developing a model of photosynthesis. The first part of the model is shown below.


Which would be the MOST useful next step for Chloe to develop the photosynthesis model further?

A.
Extend the lines for sunlight so that they pass through the autotroph.
B.
Represent a chemical reaction in the autotroph that produces high-energy carbohydrates.
C.
Represent a chemical reaction in the autotroph that produces high-energy proteins.
D.
Draw a circle to represent a heterotroph, and draw a line to connect it to the autotroph.

Answer 1

I believe the answer for this would be B. Just using the process of elimination knocks out D and A, and plants make carbs not protein during photosynthesis :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B.

The word photosynthesis defines the condition in which the autotrophs absorbs the sunlight by the help of chlorophyll and convert the light energy into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates.

This process also requires carbon dioxide and water for the producing high energy carbohydrates.
