The balanced equation for a reaction that occurs during photosynthesis is shown.

6CO2 + 6H2O + heat → C6H12O6 + 6O2
What can be concluded about the heat energy in the reaction?
A.
The reaction releases heat and is, therefore, exothermic.

B.
The reaction releases heat and is, therefore, endothermic.

C.
The reaction absorbs heat and is, therefore, endothermic.

D.
The reaction absorbs heat and is, therefore, exothermic.

1 answer
