Researchers have been developing an artificial leaf, a device that mimics the actions of photosynthesis. The artificial leaf harnesses the energy of sunlight and uses it to provide energy for a series of chemical reactions. Potential products include hydrogen gas (Hz) and methane gas (CH).
What is one way that the chemical processes of the artificial leaf are similar to photosynthesis?
о
A. The products are molecules made of 5 atoms at the most.
O
B. The products contain carbon, but not oxygen.
C. The products contain high-energy chemical bonds.
