Answer: Energy is absorbed by the reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

In endothermic reaction the energy is absorbed from the surroundings.

For example:

  • Reaction occurring during the process photosynthesis is also an endothermic reaction in which glucose and oxygen are obtained as product from carbon dioxide and water by absorbing the energy from sunlight.


6CO_2+6H_2O+\text{ sunlight}\rightarrow C_6H_(12)O_(6)+O_2
