Based on the results of the study, it was found that the highest misconception was found in organisms that could carry out photosynthesis at 87.5%, organs that played a role in photosynthesis 44.5%, photosynthetic processes 42.5%, experiments with photosynthetic processes 25%, and factors affect photosynthesis 38.125%. Thus it can be concluded, that there is a misconception in Class VII Sutera Junior High School about photosynthetic material with varying percentages.
