What type of reaction is photosynthesis classified as?

  • A Combustion
  • B Exothermic
  • C Endothermic
  • D Redox only
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Endothermic
Explanation: Photosynthesis is classified as an endothermic reaction because it absorbs energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This stored chemical energy is later released during respiration.
