The synthesis of sugar molecules through the process of photosynthesis requires energy absorbed from sunlight. bearing this in mind, what kind of reaction is photosynthesis? -exergonic -endergonic -catabolic -feedback
Photosynthesis is an endergonic reaction bearing in mind the synthesis of sugar requires energy absorbed from sunlight
Explanation:
A chemical reaction is a reaction between reactants to form products which require energy input called activation energy.
With this activation energy, certain reactions will release energy out to the surroundings whereas some end up absorbing the energy from the surrounding.
The reactions which absorb energy present in the surrounding like solar energy are termed endergonic reactions. Synthetic and breakdown reactions which absorb energy are endergonic reactions.
So synthesis of sugar molecules by the reaction of carbon dioxide and water by absorbing energy from sunlight is an endergonic reaction.
