Plants, through the process of photosynthesis, use solar energy to produce the end product glucose. Since energy is used here, what type of reaction is photosynthesis?
A. endergonic reaction
B. exergonic reaction
C. reversible reaction

Question

Plants, through the process of photosynthesis, use solar energy to produce the end product glucose. Since energy is used here, what type of reaction is photosynthesis?
A. endergonic reaction
B. exergonic reaction 
C. reversible reaction

endergonic takes up or uses energy
exergonic releases energy

Photosynthesis is taking up energy from the sun to make sugars so that is endergonic.
When the food that photosynthesis makes is broken down to support the plant, then that reaction will be exergonic.
