Misconception Analysis
1. ( True / False ) The movement of waterand gases through the leaf is not
dependent on environmental conditions.
2. ( True / False ) The light phase of photosynthesis occurs only during the day
while the dark phase accurs only at night
3. ( True / False ) Xylem and phloem elements are made of very long cells stretching
from the roots to the leaves.
4. ( True / False ) Evaporation of water from the leaves increase the strength of the
cohesive force wihich results in more water molecules being puled up the xylem.
5. ( True / False ) The rapte of transpiration is effected only by the concentration of
water molecules in the air around the leaf.
6. ( True / False ) Digestion breaks down food into its component biological
molecules.
7. ( True / False ) The large surface area of the small intestine is necessary because
diffusion takes place so slowly
8. ( True / False ) The absorption of fatty acids and glycerol is different from that of
glucose and amno acids.
9. ( True / False ) The process which moves gases across the membranes separating
blood and air (at the alveolus) is very fast one, not depending on the concentration of
the gas on either side of the membrane.
10. ( True / False ) Breathig is voluntary, not under control of the brain system or
dependent on the level of carbon dioxide in the blood.

a. The process of photosynthesis
