Why is photosynthesis an example of a chemical reaction, and why is it classified as endothermic?
5 answers
energy comes in as light, and chemical reactions take place.
endothermic means energy is absorbed by the reaction
photosynthesis absorbs radiant (light) energy and uses it in the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and carbohydrate

Photosynthesis requires energy, making it an endothermic reaction. Light, generally sunlight, is the source of this energy. The process converts the sun’s electromagnetic energy into chemical energy, which is then stored in chemical bonds in the plant. Sunlight is the primary source of energy on the surface of Earth.
Correct!
Tyyyy!!!
