    In both direction. because catalysts increase the rates of the forward and backward reaction (Kf to denote the rate of the forward and Kb to denote the rate of the backward). Exergonic i.e. release heat during process forward reaction convert reactants to products, whereas endergonic backward reaction convert products to reactants.
