Both, actually. Heat is released by the system (the object or area you're studying), and is absorbed by the surroundings (everything else, not including the system). Typically people are referring to the effects on the system, so in that case an exothermic reaction is a release of heat.

Does the chemical equation of ATP release exergonic exothermic or absorb energy endergonic endothermic?
Releases energy. Exergonic.
Is it true that an exothermic reaction absorbs heat and is categorized as dissipated energy?
Exothermic reactions release energy. Endothermic reactions absorb energy.
What are reactions that absorb energy from the environment?
Reactions that absorb energy from the environment are referred as endothermic reactions.
What is the type of chemical reaction in which heat energy is absorbed?
Endothermic reactions.Endo- means 'inside' which is where the energy ends up.Exothermic reactions give off energy. Exo- means 'outside'. Think that a spider sheds an 'exo'skeleton, or a skin on the outside.
Evaporation of perspiration is an endothermic or exothermic change Why?
Evaporation is an endothermic process because absorb energy.
Is evaporation of water release of energy?
Evaporation is an endothermic process, absorb energy.
How is endothermic reactions differ from exothermic reactions?
Endothermic chemical reactions absorb more energy than they release, while exothermic chemical reactions release more energy than they absorb.
Does the chemical equation of ATP release exergonic exothermic or absorb energy endergonic endothermic?
Releases energy. Exergonic.
Is endothermic energy adding or removing?
The meaning of endothermic is "which absorb heat".
The expositon of dynamite is a chemical reactiondoes this reaction absorb or release energy?
Exothermic reactions release energy. Endothermic reactions absorb energy.
How does endothermic reaction absorb energy?
Yes.
Do chemical reaction absorb energy spontaneously or do they release them?
Some chemical reactions are exothermic, some are endothermic.
Is it true that an exothermic reaction absorbs heat and is categorized as dissipated energy?
Exothermic reactions release energy. Endothermic reactions absorb energy.
Can chemical reactions absorb energy?
yes they do,the reactions which absorb energy are called endothermic reaction.
What are reactions that absorb energy from the environment?
Reactions that absorb energy from the environment are referred as endothermic reactions.
Chemical reactions that absorb more energy than they release are called?
It's an endothermic reaction. When more energy is absorbed than released, it has to be absorbed from surroundings. That means the surroundings lose heat as energy is absorbed from them to complete the reaction. This translates to a cooler feeling around the reaction. If you're holding a beaker with an endothermic reaction going on inside it, your hand will feel cool because the reaction is actually absorbing energy from you. An example of an endothermic reaction is combining vinegar and baking soda.
What are chemical rections that absorb energy?
Endothermic Reactions
