Open in App

Solution

A type of change that absorbs energy from the surrounding in the form of heat is called an endothermic change. For example, melting of ice, evaporation of water, photosynthesis.
Cooking of food is a type of endothermic chemical change because cooking involves the absorption of heat from the burning of fuels.
The absorbed heat completely utilized in the cooking of food.
Hence, cooking of food, is an endothermic chemical change.
