Is the cooking of food an exothermic or endothermic process?

Endothermic because the egg will absorb the energy of the pan and will therefore cook. The actual process of cooking food is to give it energy for some chemical reactions to occur.

digestion of food release energy, so it's exothermic reaction

it is exothermic reaction because Digestion of food involves the release of energy that your body can then use.

Exothermic reactions give out energy overall. Here are some exothermic reactions: - Combustion of fuels such as hydrogen & methane - Neutralisation of an acid by an alkali - Reaction between sulphur & iron Endothermic reactions take in energy overall. Here are some endothermic reactions: - Reactions involved in cooking - The thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate - Photosynthesis in which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide & water to make their own food

Plants absorb sunlight and this heat is used for prepairing their food that's why its a exothermic reaction.

Endothermic- a change in which energy is taken in. The melting of ice is an endothermic change. Ice absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings when it melts. That's why you pack drinks and food in an ice-filled picnic cooler to keep them cold. So yes an ice cube is endothermic.

Cooking food and Using fuels to run vehicles

In respiration of animals glucose molecules breaks up releases amount of energy heat is given out thats why it is exothermic.but in plants it absorbs sunlight heat is used for preparing food so it is endothermic.

No, in most cases it isn't endothermic. Metabolism, based on the Krebs Cycle, is a biochemical reaction which creates Adenosine Triphosphate, also known as ATP and Energy. Energy is in fact exothermic.

Yes. That is one reason for cooking food.

Cooking is a physical change due to how the texture of the food changes through the cooking process. The actual food physically changes.

Exothermic and Endothermic reactions are part of the natural universe. Without it, temperatures would remain stagnate. In light of technology harnessing these reactions, they provide us with a number of useful abilities. They are useful in that we use these reactions to cook our food, heat our water, cool our airs and refrigerate our storages, to name a few.

Remove the food from the heat source. If necessary, place the food, in it's cooking container, in an ice bath.

Some cooking processes, such as boiling, will leach nutrients out of food, lowering its nutritional value.

any tool used ti help you in the preperation of food/ cooking process

Breathing is an exothermic reaction. To explain clearly, during digestion food particles break down into smaller particles. These turn into glucose, this glucose combines with the oxygen present in the cell and provides energy. The special name of this reaction is respiration. It releases heat so it is an exothermic reaction.

the purpose of cooking food is to rid it of harmful bacteria and food pathogens. The cooking process also enhances the flavor and texture of food, and allows better digestion. Keep in mind over cooking will remove most of the nutritional value.

The cooking process kills bacteria in the food if the food is cooked to an appropriate temperature. This is true particularly for meat, and there are published general guidelines.

An example of a household endothermic reaction is boiling water. The process of water going from the liquid to gas phase is an endothermic process (you have to put heat into the water). An example of a household exothermic reaction is the burning of natural gas occurring on a stove-top or in an oven to cook food. The natural gas, mostly methane, CH4, burns by combining with oxygen to from carbon dioxide and water (and some other by-products such as carbon monoxide). This exothermic reaction creates the heat to cook with. Another example is burning wood or coal. An example of a substance in the liquid phase is water! Some other common examples of liquids are oil, gasoline, rubbing alcohol, and acetone (nail polish remover).

To baste in cooking is to brush or otherwise distribute liquid over the surface of a food to prevent its drying out during the cooking process.

the sun is hot so it means food cooking with sunlight

Yes, it can, in particularly if it is burned.

Slow cooking is a process of cooking a food or recipe slowly to achieve desired results. The methods of doing this include braising, stewing, and simmering.

Yes, once food has been cooked it can be frozen immediately it has cooled. This is because the process of cooking food sterilizes it and provided it is frozen immediately after cooking it will have nothing in it to make it go bed.

Living things get energy from food during digestion. This is an exothermic reaction in which heat and electrons are released and used as energy.
