What is another word for endoergic reaction?
Pronunciation: [ˌɛndə͡ʊˈɜːd͡ʒɪk ɹɪˈakʃən] (IPA) 
An "endoergic reaction" is an unfamiliar term for many people. Also known as endothermic reaction, it refers to a chemical reaction or process that absorbs energy from the surroundings in the form of heat or light. Instead of releasing energy, an endoergic reaction stores energy within the system. Some synonyms for an endoergic reaction include endothermic reaction, energy-absorbing reaction, heat-absorbing reaction, and cold reaction. In contrast, exoergic reactions release energy in the form of heat or light, and are also known as exothermic reactions. These reactions are common in everyday life, such as when firewood is burned in a fireplace or when food is cooked on a stove.
