Question
What is one limitation of a using a 2D computer-generated image of the digestive system instead of using the actual thing? (1 point)
Responses
The 2D image is too small and the organs are, therefore, difficult to see.

The correct answer is: The 2D image is less accurate in showing how the organs look, such as their texture.
Explanation: One limitation of using a 2D computer-generated image of the digestive system instead of the actual thing is that the image may not accurately represent the appearance and texture of the organs. When using a 2D image, the organs may appear flat and lack the depth and detail that can be observed in a real human digestive system. The actual organs may have a three-dimensional structure and texture that is important for understanding their function. Additionally, a 2D image may not be able to accurately depict the variations and nuances in color and texture that are present in the real organs. Therefore, although a 2D image can provide a basic visual representation of the digestive system, it may not fully capture the intricacies and details of the actual organs.
