Endothermic Reactions
This type of reaction requires energy in order to proceed. In these reactions, the reactants absorb energy from the surroundings, causing the products to have a higher energy content than the reactants. Examples of endothermic reactions include photosynthesis, where plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, and the melting and boiling of substances, where energy is absorbed to overcome intermolecular forces.
