Photosynthesis: NECO Biology Past Questions and Answers

What the WAEC syllabus covers in Photosynthesis

Our summary: How green plants use light to make food, what they need for it, and how to show it happens.

  • Process of photosynthesis and its chemical equation
  • Light and dark reactions (Biochemical nature of photosynthesis, photoactivation of chlorophyll resulting in the conversion of light energy to ATP and the reduction of NADP (biochemical detail is not required).)
  • Materials and conditions necessary for photosynthesis
  • Evidence of photosynthesis (The translocating and storage of excess food as a result of photosynthesis should be mentioned. Test for starch in green leaves should be carried out. Fate of the products of photosynthesis should be mentioned.)
