Answer:

Photosynthesis is an example of an endothermic chemical reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction. This means it cannot occur without energy, however, this process takes energy from the sun directly, not heat like other endothermic reactions.

The light is absorbed by chlorophyll, a green pigment, present in the leaves. This energy, producing oxygen and glucose from water and carbon dioxide. The energy absorbed then store in the glucose molecules.

A chemical equation for the photosynthesis can be written as:

6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2 (in presence of light)

Thus, Photosynthesis is an example of an endothermic chemical reaction.
