Question

plants use light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a high energy molecule. the plants then use the glucose as an energy source when they need it, or we eat the plant and use the glucose as an energy source ourselves.
is the reaction that forms glucose from carbon dioxide and water exothermic or endothermic?
dont test me yet, i am trying to gain an understanding before attempting to answer this question.
shown below is a simplified chemical reaction for what happens in photosynthesis.
6 co2 + 6 h2o
light energy
from the sun
photosynthesis
glucose
+ 6 o2

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process where plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using light energy. Endothermic reactions absorb energy, while exothermic reactions release energy. In photosynthesis, light energy is absorbed to form glucose (a high - energy molecule). This means energy is taken in during the reaction.

Answer:

endothermic
