The document discusses university students' common misconceptions about photosynthesis and respiration in plants. It describes a study where students were asked to draw and label diagrams of photosynthesis and respiration. Many students' diagrams showed misconceptions, such as respiration only occurring at night or only involving the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases. The document then lists and explains several common misconceptions students have and provides the scientifically accurate explanations to correct those misconceptions.
