During photosynthesis, plants transform the energy in sunlight into chemical energy by converting molecules of carbon dioxide and water into sugar and
oxygen molecules. A scientist wants to share what she has learned about this
process. What are two reasons the scientist might use models to help
represent her findings?
A. The molecules are too small to show the actual molecules in her
report.
B. Photosynthesis cannot be carried out in a laboratory.
O C. The process is very complex.
D. Scientists need to replicate her experiments.
