Endothermic reactions: Heat is absorbed. 1) Photosynthesis: Plants absorb heat energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. 2) Cooking an egg: Heat energy is absorbed from the pan to cook the egg. Exothermic reactions: Heat is released.
Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions. All processes can be classified into one of two categories: exothermic and endothermic. In an exothermic process, energy is released, while in an endothermic process, energy is stored. This section will specifically cover exothermic and endothermic chemical reactions, but almost any process can be described as releasing or storing energy.
