Exergonic reactions

Exergonic reactions refer to chemical reactions that release energy.

"exergonic reactions" is not directly related to psychology. Exergonic reactions are a concept in biochemistry and refer to chemical reactions that release energy. These reactions are energetically favorable and can occur spontaneously, without the input of external energy. Examples of exergonic reactions include the breakdown of glucose during cellular respiration and the hydrolysis of ATP to release energy for cellular processes.

While psychology may study the biological mechanisms of behavior and thought, the concept of exergonic reactions is not typically used in the field.
