Difference between endothermic and exothermic?

Endo draws heat from around it. Exo gives off heat. Example: Ice melting is a endothermic reaction. A match lighting is an exothermic reaction.An exothermic reaction releases heat to it's surroundings. The change in energy is negative. An example is combustion of natural gas.An endothermic reaction absorbs heat, so the temperature of the surroundings drops. The energy is positive. An example is melting ice cubes.

What kind of reaction energy that requires energy in the form of heat?

Like baking a cake once you heat it, it becomes a new substance. With a chemical change you can never go back to what you had before. Also like a car rusting, a match being lite, and burning wood ( the new substance for wood is ash)
