How does science use models to gain a better understanding of concepts?

Suppose a pair of chemical compounds a and b can react in two different ways: a + b -> c reaction 1 gives product c. a + b -> d reaction 2 gives product d. the following facts are known about the two reactions: . reaction 1 is endothermic and reaction 2 is exothermic. if a reaction vessel is charged (filled) with a and b , then at first d is produced faster than c. use these facts to sketch a qualitative reaction energy diagram for both reactions. note: because these sketches are only qualitative, the energies don? t have to be exact. they only have to have the right relationship to each other. for example, if one energy is less than another, that fact should be clear in your sketch.

Which of the following reasons best explains why a scientist would want to replicate gregor mendel's pea plant experiment? a. to discover new aspects of the natural world b. to test the predictions of current theories c. to explain recently observed phenomena d. to test the conclusions of prior investigations
