Photosynthesis is not considered a synthesis reaction because it involves the conversion of light energy into chemical energy, rather than the direct combination of two or more substances to form a new compound.

Is photosynthesis a synthesis reaction?

Yes, photosynthesis is a synthesis reaction because it involves the process of combining carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen using sunlight as an energy source.


Is photosynthesis an example of chemical reaction?

No, it is considered a synthesis reaction (as the term photosynthesis might imply).If you look at the chemical equation however, you might consider it to be a backwards combustion reaction.


Why is photosynthesis an anabolic metabolic pathway?

Yes, photosynthesis is considered an anabloic reaction. Photosynthesis is also considered an endergonic reaction because it reduces carbon dioxide into glucose.


Another name for a composition reaction is?

Formation reaction.


Why photosynthesis called endothermic reaction?

Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction because it takes energy (from sunlight) from the environment to use in the photosynthesis reaction. Without the energy input, the photosynthesis reaction could not occur.


What type of chemical reaction is photosynthesis?

The two reactions which occur during photosynthesis are light reaction and dark reaction. Light reaction takes place only in the presence of light. Dark reaction can occur with or without light.


Is photosynthesis anabolic reaction?

yes, obviously because the word ''photosynthesis'' has the word ''synthesis'' in it. Photosynthesis is a reaction of a plant when a ''seed'' gets enough sunlight and water to produce growth.and that is the term of photosynthesis :) the equation to photosynthesis is carbon dioxide+water---->sugar+oxygen and where the arrow is (--->) should be a word on top of that, and that word obviously is "light" :) i hope i helped and good luck with that info if it is needed fot whatever your doing!! :) xx


What words has the suffix synthesis?

Here are some words with the suffix "synthesis": analysis, photosynthesis, synthesis, biosynthesis.


The reaction in which two or more substances react to form a single substance?

This type of reaction is known as a synthesis or combination reaction. It involves the combination of two or more substances to form a single product. An example is the reaction of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to form water.


A chemical reaction in which two elements combine to form a compound is called a?

synthesis reaction


What reactions use sunlight?

Photosynthesis is a reaction that uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen in plants. In humans, sunlight activates the synthesis of vitamin D in the skin.


Why photosynthesis is considered endothermic reaction?

Plants absorb sunlight and this heat is used for prepairing their food that's why its a exothermic reaction.
