Photosynthesis Concept Map
A photosynthesis concept map links the process to the facts that explain it. Photosynthesis uses energy from sunlight, combines water and carbon dioxide, produces glucose and oxygen, and occurs in chloroplasts. Short relationship phrases make these links readable as statements, which is the main advantage of a concept map. The glucose branch can connect to plant growth, while chlorophyll explains how plants capture light. This form helps students prepare an explanation because each branch answers a different question: what energy is used, what goes in, what comes out and where it happens. Add more detail only after the main relationships are clear.

Scenario
A biology student prepares to explain photosynthesis in a short written response.
Key decisions
- Central concept: Photosynthesis is the process to explain.
- Energy: Sunlight and chlorophyll show how energy enters.
- Inputs and products: The substances are separated clearly.
- Location: Chloroplasts connect the process to plant cells.
