During a chemical reaction, one or more chemicals are turned into one or more other chemicals. For example iron and oxygen both combine to rust or just simply things that are burning or exploding are examples of chemical reactions. Endothermic describes the type of chemical reaction in which energy is absorbed. Energy needed in the form of heat is needed for an endothermic reaction to be possible. Heat is put into the reaction or, as stated before, it is absorbed. The textbook, Conceptual Integrated Science, gives photosynthesis as an example of an endothermic reaction. The chemical reactions that occur during photosynthesis have an overall net absorption of energy. Another example of an endothermic chemical
