The egg requires heat to be cooked. This means that in order to start the frying "reaction", a certain number of joules of heat have to be added to the frying pan, which transfers the heat to the egg. The egg solidifies as a result of the frying reaction.If frying the egg was exothermic, the egg would produceheat when fried (which would be very strange!).
Yes, Conduction is illustrated by the heat being transferred from the hot pan into the egg which then causes the egg to heat and transform.
Yes, covering the skillet when frying an egg will help to cook the upper surface of the egg. I like to use a small pan and cook the egg part of the way and then add a small amount of water before covering. It's perfect every time.
Heat control is very important while frying an egg as over heating might result to change in taste,appearance and the egg might also burn from the bottom and sides.
True. Covering the pan will trap the hot steam in the pan causing it to cook the top of the egg. Also, if you have oil in the pan, the hot oil will pop up on the egg and help cook it.
The calories in the egg don't change, but cooking methods that require adding fat (frying) will increase the calories in the dish.

Frying an egg is a synthesis reaction. The combination of heat which causes a reaction in the egg whites creates a chemical reaction. When you take these simple components and create a complex reaction this is a prime example of a synthesis reaction.
no. frying an egg is not physical, because once you turn the egg into a solid, you cant change it back to a liquidish substance. Heating is a chemical change, so there for, frying an egg is a chemical change. Same with baking a cake. Once you add heat to a substance, like cakebatter, you cant change it back into cake batter there for making it a chemical change.

Boiling--you can "hard boil" or "soft boil" Frying--you can cook one side (sunnyside up) or both (over easy) or scramble before frying Poaching
Chemical. The chemical composition of the egg is changed when the egg is fryed, and cannot be reversed.
