Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Endothermic reactions are those in which heat is absorbed in the reaction. As we know, that photosynthesis is a process in which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water and turns it into oxygen and glucose.
Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction. This means it cannot occur without energy (from the Sun).
Detailed explanation-3: -The reactions of photosynthesis are summed up by this chemical equation: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O.
Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis is endothermic, and the necessary energy is supplied by the absorption of solar radiant energy.
Detailed explanation-5: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
