Exothermic: respiration. Endothermic: none. It would be better to ask: What are the ENDERGONIC and EXERGONIC reactions in the body as biological processes are not temperature dependent (the body’s temperature is constant) but many of them use energy from ATP. Respiration is exergonic (exothermic), and photosynthesis is endergonic (sunlight). Enzymes lower the activation energy of chemical reactions, so such reactions are endergonic but not endothermic.
