Answer 1

The correct response is:

**It shows that chemical reactions follow consistent rules defined by those theories and laws.**

This option illustrates that the predictable nature of scientific theories and laws allows us to understand how atoms from glucose can combine with other elements in systematic ways to form larger carbon-based molecules.
