Several students are making presentations for a science class. The chart describes the concept that each student will present to the class.

Which best describes the SmartArt graphic layout each student should use?

Letitia would use a hierarchy, Maria would use a cycle, and Paul would use a process.

Letitia would use a cycle, Maria would use a hierarchy, and Paul would use a relationship.

Letitia would use a process, Maria would use a cycle, and Paul would use a relationship.

Letitia would use a process, Maria would use a relationship, and Paul would use a hierarchy.

Question

Student presentation concepts from another source

Letitia - a step-by-step process of breaking down glucose into energy

Mana - repeating process of the steps of the cell division, going from interphase to division, and back to interphase.

Paul - a series of organisms that show similar characteristics and compare them to those that do not

Which best describes the SmartArt graphic layout each student should use?

Answer:

Letitia would use a process, Maria would use a cycle, and Paul would use a relationship.

Explanation:

Letita's assignment requires her to show how glucose can be broken down into energy, this requires a series of steps in s linear fashion, meaning it would be best suited to a process-style diagram.

Marta's project involves showing the steps of the cell cycle: the clue is in the name. This process is not linear, and instead repeats itself, meaning it fits to a cycle diagram (i. e. a circular diagram)

Paul is comparing and contrasting different organisms. Therefore, he should use a relationship diagram to show shared characteristics as well as features that differ.
