What to Focus On

  • Green plants are autotrophs.
  • Photosynthesis uses light energy to make organic compounds.
  • It is the primary source of food on Earth.
  • Priestley showed the role of plants in restoring air.
  • Ingenhousz showed sunlight is essential for oxygen release.
  • Sachs showed glucose formation and starch storage.
  • Photosynthesis occurs through several steps.
  • The overall equation uses 12 water molecules.
  • Oxygen released in photosynthesis comes from water.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Photosystems are named in the order in which they function, so PS I acts before PS II in the light reaction.

The oxygen released in photosynthesis comes from carbon dioxide.

Photosynthesis needs water only as a raw material for making glucose, so splitting of water is not essential to the light reaction.
