How should the baking of a pizza be categorized? a) as an exothermic process because the dough releases heat asb) an endothermic process because the dough releases heatc) as an exothermic process because the dough absorbs heatd) as an endothermic process because the dough absorbs heat

The answer is: D) As an endothermic process because the dough absorbs heat

Endothermic process refers to  a type of reaction that absorb energy from its environment. When we bake pizza, the dough would absorb the heat and make it expanded and become crisp. Other example of an endothermic process is when we boil water until it evaporated.
