Endothermic reaction
A chemical reaction that absorbs energy from its surroundings.
Examples of endothermic reactions
Photosynthesis, cooking bacon in a hot frying pan, electric blankets, frost formation on a beaker, and baking bread.
Photosynthesis
An endothermic process where plants convert sunlight into chemical energy.
Frost formation in a beaker
An endothermic process where water vapor in the air cools and solidifies, absorbing heat.
