How to Make a Photosynthesis Diagram
Drawing is an art that demands keen observation. When it comes to biological or chemical processes, thorough knowledge about the process also is a must. Photosynthesis is when plants convert sunlight into chemical energy. This process requires carbon dioxide to produce sugar and oxygen. Though different people depict different aspects of photosynthesis like Calvin process, light reaction, etc., the basic photosynthesis diagram includes the images of a sun, plant and the elements involved.

Draw a plant in the center of the paper with at least two leaves on either sides of the line representing the stem and a root structure. Photosynthesis normally happens with the help of chlorophyll, a green pigment. Leaves contain chlorophyll. Therefore, in photosynthesis diagrams, the leaf has a major role. Root structure is required to show the water absorption of the plants through roots.

Depict a sun above the plant with a circle, and include some arrows from the sun pointing to the plant to represent sunlight. Draw a thick line just above the root and shade it downwards to represent the soil. Under this line and near to the roots, draw some small circles to represent water and draw arrows from the circles to roots. This represents the absorption of water by the plant.

Draw an arrow pointing towards the leaf on one side. Draw two arrows coming from the leaf on the other side. Label the arrows with a pencil. The arrow pointed towards the leaf represents carbon dioxide. The two arrows coming from the leaf on the other side represent oxygen and glucose. Also, label the arrows from the sun towards the plant as light energy and the arrows coming from water bubbles to the root as water.
