Introduction
GCSE Bitesize is the best site for describing Photosynthesis process in detail. It gives more scientific details on various plant processes including photosynthesis. It starts with an introduction as follows: Green plants do absorb light energy via chlorophyll which is contained in the leaves. This energy is utilized in reacting water with carbon (IV) oxide to produce glucose. In turn, the resulted glucose is then used in respiration in which oxygen is released as a by-product. The site gives a definition of photosynthesis as a chemical change that takes place within the leaves of plants which are green only (Segev et al., 813-829). This is the initial step of producing food not only for plants but also for the animals. Additionally, the site provides different factors affecting photosynthesis process such as CO2, temperature as well as light intensity.
The site had been authored by BBC group and its contents includes; various subjects such as geography, English, business studies, French, art and design in addition to other significant topics. Furthermore, the site has different pages such as news page, weather page, and sports page in addition to other pages. The graphic of this site is well designed with various attractive colors like blue, brick red, light blue and black.
