Filled: "higher" — "lower" — "absorbs" — "potential"

Complete sentence: In an endothermic reaction, the reactants have a higher total bond energy. This means the relative potential energy of the reactants is lower than the relative potential energy of the products. The reaction absorbs potential energy.

Brief reason: More energy is required to break the reactant bonds than is released when product bonds form, so net energy is absorbed and the products end up at higher potential energy.
