What to Focus On

  • Photosynthesis makes food and releases oxygen.
  • Decomposition returns nutrients to the environment.
  • Adaptation helps survival in specific habitats.

  • Photosynthesis happens in chloroplasts.
  • Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight.
  • Water splits into hydrogen and oxygen during photolysis.

  • Decomposition is done by bacteria and fungi.
  • Order of stages: fragmentation, leaching, catabolism, humification, mineralisation.
  • Humus stores nutrients for a long time.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Photosynthesis is only about plants making food; oxygen is just a side detail.

Oxygen is absorbed by leaves during photosynthesis and carbon dioxide is released.

The three stages of photosynthesis happen in any order.
