Answer:Endothermic reactions are chemical reactions that absorb heat from their surroundings. Examples include:

Dissolving an effervescent tablet in water (releasing carbon dioxide gas)

Photosynthesis in plants

Melting of ice

Exothermic reactions are chemical reactions that release heat into their surroundings. Examples include:

Combustion of fossil fuels (e.g. gasoline, coal)

Cooking food (e.g. baking, grilling)

Rusting of iron

Respiration in humans and animals

Chemical hand warmers that release heat when activated.
