Photosynthesis flowcharts

24 flowcharts by 23 users

This GoConqr page gathers a small set of user-made photosynthesis flowcharts, covering light-dependent reactions, the Calvin cycle and glucose production. They are for school students studying these processes and teachers looking for classroom material. Most are at secondary-school level, with some university-level material. Pick a flowchart to get started.

About photosynthesis flowcharts

GoConqr Original

Photosynthesis flowcharts

These flowcharts show different parts of the process, from sunlight and water entering the light-dependent reactions to carbon dioxide and sugars in the Calvin cycle. Some focus on glucose production or on the products made from triose phosphate.

Choosing a starting point

The process of photosynthesis is a useful place to begin because it connects the light-dependent reactions with the Calvin cycle. For a closer look at carbon dioxide, GP and RuBP, move on to Light independent reaction.

Studying with flowcharts

Follow the connections through a chart, then cover it and try to describe the sequence in your own words. Compare an overview with a chart focused on one stage to see how the details fit together. If you want to check your understanding, switch to a quiz on the Photosynthesis unit page. Choose a chart and trace its sequence.

Frequently asked questions

Which flowchart is a good place to start?

The process of photosynthesis is a useful starting point because it shows both the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. It includes sunlight, water, oxygen, carbon dioxide and sugars, so you can follow the connections before looking at a more detailed chart.

What do these flowcharts cover?

The collection covers the overall process as well as particular stages. Light independent reaction includes carbon dioxide, GP and RuBP. Other charts show light-dependent reactions, glucose production and products made from triose phosphate. There is also a flowchart on a rhodobacter example.

Are these flowcharts free to use?

Yes. Every flowchart listed here is free to open and study without an account. The resources were made by GoConqr users. A free account also lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, and save your quiz scores.
