yes it is because you absorb carbon dioxide and water to produce sugar in photosynthesis.

The byproducts of photosynthesis are oxygen which is released into the air and a molecule called what which is a type of sugar?
The other product of photosynthesis is glucose. It is not a by-product, as it is the reason for photosynthesis.
What uses the suns energy to make sugar food through a process called?
photosynthesis- its used to make food/energy
What molecule is in photosynthesis sugar oxygen water or nitrogen?
All of them are not. It is the glucose.
In a plant what substances is in the sugar?
I n a plant the substances in sugar are cellulose,sugars which is glucose.
Is making glucose from CO2 photosynthesis?
No it is respirationYes,it is photosynthesis. CO2 is oxidized into glucose using water and light energy
Is production of sugar in photosynthesis exothermic or endothermic?
Exothermic because energy is lost by creating the sugar.
Is burning sugar endothermic?
Endothermic means absorbing thermal energy, so of course not. There is no such thing as sugar getting cold when it's burning. Burning sugar is exothermic, meaning it releases heat.
What is the immediate source for hydrogen atoms for the production of sugar during photosynthesis?
The NADPH system is the immediate source for hydrogen atoms for the production of sugar during photosynthesis.
Is sugar and water a chemical change?
Hot: Exothermic. Cold: Endothermic !WARNING PHYSICS FOLLOW! Exothermic is where something has excess energy, which it then converts into heat and/or light energy, such as a fire. Endothermic is where something sort of... has the reverse of too much energy. When you use an aerosol can, for example, the gas is let out at a very low boiling point, which uses up a load of energy and the can gets cold.
Is the melting of candle wax and exothermic or endothermic change?
The answer is endothermic. The wax is absorbing heat energy, not producing it, and changing from a solid state to a liquid state. If the reactants require more energy than than they are putting out during the reaction, it is said to be endothermic (absorbing of heat). If the reactants give off heat of their own (self sustaining), then it is an exothermic reaction. There are components in some types of wax that will burn, in which case that is an example of an exothermic reaction, but most wax will stop once the heat source is removed.
How many reactants are chemically bonded in the compound for sugar?
Carbon dioxide and water are the reactants in the photosynthesis reaction by which sugar and oxygen are produced in green plants with sun light for endothermic (= needed) energy.
Why Sugar is needed for the Photosynthesis?
Sugar is not needed by photosynthesis. Sugar is the product of photosynthesis.
The heat energy content of the reactants of an endothermic reaction compared with products is?
In an exothermic reaction the reactants release energy to the environment when they react - like coal burning. In an endothermic reaction the reactants need to absorb energy from their environment when they react, so the reaction feels cold in your hand, or else you have to heat it continually to make it react. The products would then be at a higher energy level than the reactant were. Photosynthesis is an interesting example of an endothermic reaction, because in this example the energy supplied to make the reaction go is not heat but light. The product (sugar) is an 'energy store' which the plant (or whatever eats the plant) can use later on to release the energy in respiration.
Is burning sugar endothemic process?
No, burning sugar is exothermic.
How many molecules of oxygen produced along with one molecules of sugar?
With the production of one molecule of sugar six molecules of oxygen are produced during photosynthesis.
What does photosynthesis give plants?
oxygenMain production is glucose.Oxygen gas given out is a by product
What happeneds to the sugar in photosynthesis?
the sugar produced by photosynthesis is the plants 'food.' it is the point of the process. plants 'do' photosynthesis to get sugar, which they 'consume' in a way.
