The model allows for the manipulation of multiple variables to replicate their natural effects.
The model allows for the manipulation of multiple variables to replicate their natural effects.

The model simplifies the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, by focusing on a single variable which does not happen in natural settings.

The statement that best describes a limitation of the model compared to the actual process is:

**The model simplifies the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, by focusing on a single variable which does not happen in natural settings.**

This highlights that the model's focus on only temperature neglects the influence of other important variables that affect photosynthesis and cellular respiration in the real world.
