They are similar, but not exactly the same as exothermic and endothermic as used in chemistry.
Exergonic reactions are defined by a negative delta G, that is they have less free energy at the completion of the reaction than at the beginning. An exergonic reaction may require some input of energy (called activation energy) to start the reaction, but will release more energy than is required to start the reaction.
An endergonic reaction will have a positive delta G, that is it will have more free energy after the reaction than before it starts.
Here is a good website with graphs that explains this:

Here is another website that explains the similarity between exergonic, exothermic, and endergonic, endothermic.

Exergonic means the reaction releases energy Delta G and endergonic means it takes energy to complete the reaction.

Exergonic reactions result in a release of energy, which may typically be perceived as a raised temperature of the reaction stratus. Endergonic reactions result in stored energy, and may typically be perceived as a lowered termperature.

D. Exergonic reactions release energy; endergonic reactions absorb it.

Exergonic
Of or relating to a reaction that releases energy to its surroundings
Endergonic
Of or relating to a chemical reaction that absorbs energy and therefore cools its surroundings.

Exothermic reactions release heat as a byproduct, so the environment is hotter after a reaction. Whereas endothermic reactions "use heat", the environment is cooler after a reaction. Just think exo-exit, heat is released.

remember the prefixes: exo - means on the outside; gives off.
endo - means on the inside; takes in.
Learning the prefixes makes science A LOT easier.
