Question

Explain why photosynthesis is endothermic reaction

Answer 1

Answer:

Endothermic reactions are the one in which heat is overall absorbed for carrying out the reaction successfully

Explanation:

In photosynthesis, as we know plants absorb direct energy from sun in form of sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose (type of sugar molecule). So from the above definition of endothermic reaction and our knowledge about photosynthesis we can conclude that photosynthesis is an endothermic process

Answer 2

Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction because sunlight is being absorbed during the reaction and the definition suggests that in a reaction if heat is being absorbed it is termed as an endothermic reaction.
