create a graph sketch of how photosynthesis would look on an endothermic graph. make sure to label the correct reactants and products for the reaction.

Explanation:

An endothermic graph for photosynthesis has reactants (carbon dioxide + water) at lower energy, products (glucose + oxygen) at higher energy, with an upward curve showing energy absorption from sunlight. The y-axis is labeled "Energy" and the x-axis is "Reaction Progress".

Answer:

A labeled endothermic graph for photosynthesis:

1. Axes:

• Y-axis: Energy
• X-axis: Reaction Progress

1. Reactants: Mark a horizontal line at lower energy, labeled $\text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O}$ (carbon dioxide + water)
2. Activation Energy: Draw an upward curve from the reactant line to a peak (energy input from sunlight)
3. Products: Mark a horizontal line at higher energy than reactants, labeled $\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + \text{O}_2$ (glucose + oxygen)
4. Energy Change: Draw an arrow from reactant energy level to product energy level, labeled "Net Energy Absorbed (Endothermic)"
