Which of the following is analogous to the reactants in a chemical reaction?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reactants in a chemical reaction are the starting materials that are transformed into new products. Similarly, the flour, eggs, and chocolate used to bake a cake are the starting materials that are transformed through baking to produce the baked cake. Choice A (a baked cake) and choice C (a baked cake and the flour, eggs, and chocolate used to bake a cake) are not correct because a baked cake is already the end product and not a starting material. Choice D (neither a baked cake or the flour, eggs, and chocolate used to bake a cake) is also not correct because the question is asking for an analogy, and this choice does not provide a comparable situation.
