what type of reaction is occurring while frying an egg and how do you know?

OpenStudy (sidmanfu):

The type of reaction is an endothermic reaction. An endothermic reaction is a chemical reaction where energy is absorbed from their surrounding. The energy absorbed during an endothermic reaction is usually in the form of heat or light. The most familiar endothermic reactions are those that occur during cooking. As you fry an egg, for example, the white begins to become solid. If you were to remove the egg from the heat, the reaction would stop. The egg would remain half cooked until you heated it again. This is a perfect example of energy being absorbed in the form of heat.
