Exothermic                                      
 

Since products store less

energy in their chemical bonds,
they are more stable than
reactants. The ashes formed by
burning draws heat.

                    

               Endothermic

In this process, the heat of the

frying pan is absorbed by the
egg, thus cooking it. There must
be heat added or absorbed from
the environment to cook the egg
or any other food item.
