Defining the Relationship between the Perceptions and the Misconceptions about Photosynthesis Topic of the Preservice Science
Type: Empirical
Data collection method: Test
Number of subjects, range: Large — 31 or more
Grade and age of subjects: Adult — over 18 years
• Only high-structured plants do photosynthesis.
• When all parts of a plant (root, stem, leaf, etc.) are considered, all living cells in these parts do photosynthesis.
• When the light and dark-stage reactions of plants are taken into consideration, the net energy production is zero as a result of photosynthesis.
• The primary purpose of photosynthesis for high-structured plants is to produce oxygen and nutrients.
• The source of the oxygen molecule that the high-structured plants release after photosynthesis is carbon dioxide.
• When the light and dark-stage reactions of plants are taken into consideration, the net energy production is zero as a result of photosynthesis.
• Photosynthesis reactions occur faster under green light. • Plants can not perform photosynthesis in the dark. • Plant photosynthesis during the day, breathing at night.
