Exergonic

When things happen in our bodies, they need energy. Just like when we play, we need energy to run around and have fun. Exergonic is a word that describes when something happens in our body and it releases energy.

Think about a toy car that you wind up and let go. When you let go, the stored energy inside the car's spring is released and the car moves. In the same way, our bodies have molecules that store energy like springs. When those molecules are broken apart or changed, they release energy. This is called an exergonic process.

For example, when we digest food, our body breaks down the molecules in our food into smaller pieces and releases energy. This energy is what gives us the power to run and play.

Exergonic is a way to describe a process that releases energy, making it available to use for other things. It's like having a full tank of gas in a car that's ready to go for a drive. Our bodies need this kind of energy to stay healthy and active, just like we need toys to play with.
