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? o a. extend the lines for sunlight so that they pass through the autotroph. o b. represent a chemical reaction in the autotroph that produces high - energy carbohydrates. o c. represent a chemical reaction in the autotroph that produces high - energy proteins. o d. draw a circle to represent a heterotroph, and draw a line to connect it to the autotroph.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in autotrophs that uses sunlight to produce high - energy carbohydrates through a chemical reaction. Option A only shows light passing through without a key process. Option C is incorrect as photosynthesis mainly produces carbohydrates not proteins. Option D is about the relationship between autotrophs and heterotrophs which is not the next step in developing the photosynthesis model itself.

Answer:

B. Represent a chemical reaction in the autotroph that produces high - energy carbohydrates.
