What to Focus On

  • Photosynthesis is the food-making process in green plants.
  • It needs carbon dioxide, water, sunlight and chlorophyll.
  • It produces glucose, water and oxygen.
  • Leaves are the main photosynthetic organs.
  • Flat and thin leaves absorb maximum light.
  • Veins transport water and food and provide support.
  • Palisade cells are closely packed and rich in chloroplasts.
  • Spongy mesophyll has air spaces for gas movement.
  • Midrib and veins help in water supply and support.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Photosynthesis is the same as respiration because both are related to gases and energy.

Photosynthesis takes place in every part of a plant that is green.

All chlorophyll is the same, and accessory pigments do the main photosynthesis.
