Photosynthesis is the reaction by which green plants convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen using sunlight (radiant energy).

The chemical equation for photosynthesis is below.

6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight energy ——> C6H1206 + 602

What evidence can you provide that shows photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction?
