A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors
Endothermic reactions are those which heat is absorbed in the reaction. As we know that photosynthesis is a process that green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water and turns to oxygen and glucose. Plants absorb direct energy from sun thus considered photosynthesis as endothermic reaction
