Why Use a Life Processes Map
Life processes link together, so a visual map helps you see how one process supports the next.

Life Processes Concept Map Explained
A life processes concept map shows the activities that all living things carry out to stay alive. Most school biology courses group these into nutrition, respiration, transportation, excretion, growth, reproduction and control and coordination. Each process has its own sub-branches, such as the stages of photosynthesis or the parts of the human digestive system, so a map keeps the links between them clear.
- Nutrition: autotrophs and heterotrophs, photosynthesis, digestion
- Respiration: aerobic and anaerobic pathways, gas exchange
- Transportation: blood, heart, and xylem and phloem in plants
- Excretion: kidneys, nephrons, and removal of waste
- Control and coordination: nervous system and hormones
Use the map to revise one process at a time, then check how it links to the others. To make a version from your own textbook, upload your notes to CogniGuide and get a personalized map.

Life Processes Questions Answered
Common questions about life processes maps and how to make your own.
What are the seven life processes?
The seven life processes are nutrition, respiration, transportation, excretion, growth, reproduction, and control and coordination. Together they keep an organism alive, maintain its internal conditions, and allow it to produce offspring.
Why is respiration a life process?
Respiration releases energy from food, mainly glucose, so cells can carry out their work. It can be aerobic, using oxygen, or anaerobic, without oxygen, and both produce energy for the organism.
Which file types can I upload to make my map?
You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX) or PowerPoint (PPTX) file, a text or Markdown file, or an image of your notes. You can also type the topic directly.
Can I turn my life processes map into a quiz?
Yes, you can turn a CogniGuide map into a quiz to test yourself. CogniGuide also has a free plan with 5 creations a week that needs no payment.
