Why photosynthesis is considered as an endothermic reaction?
Answers
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction because in order for it to occur, the plants in which it occurs must absorb energy. They absorb this energy in the form of sunlight, producing glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water. The energy which has been absorbed then remains in the glucose molecules.
Answer:
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is considered to be an “endothermic reaction” because it absorbs the sun’s energy to enable the reaction to happen.
Like most of the endothermic reactions, the plants do not absorb heat but they absorb sun’s photothermal energy to perform ‘photosynthesis’ in order to produce starch.
The plants prepare starch by using “water and carbon dioxide” in the presence of “sunlight” to produce starch. The energy absorbed is mostly used in the photolysis of water.
