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 thinking respiration only occurs at night or that plants take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide during respiration. The document provides examples of corrected diagrams and explanations to address these common misconceptions.

4. These misconceptions can stem from education students received in the university. Studies made in Turkey, emphasized that the lecturers in education faculties use the lecture method of drawing and the students graduate from the education faculties without being introduced with any other alternative instruction methods. Thirty two percent of the students leave the respiration in plants subject blank answer and 58% of them have misconceptions. These students concentrate on the misconceptions.

5. Misconceptions such as “Respiration occurs in no plant cells; While respiration in green plants is the taking in of CO2 and giving off of O2 during the day, it is taking in of O2 and giving off of CO2 at night”

6. Respiration occurs in plants cells , Respiration in plants occurs only at a day and night, Respiration in plants is a gaseous exchange process during which O2 is taken in and CO2 is given off, Respiration in plants takes place solely in the leaves”

8. The example of the corrected misconception drawing by the student Plants not only use sunlight to live and grow but also water and suitable environment to live
