A cell stores energy and releases it as electricity. Nature has its own version!
Nature's Equivalent:
The Electric Eel has special organs in its body that act like thousands of tiny batteries stacked together. It can release a powerful electric shock to stun its prey or defend itself.
💡 Fun Facts
- An electric eel's shock can be over 600 volts, which is more than twice as powerful as the electricity in our homes!
- Your own body is also electric! Your brain sends tiny electrical signals along your nerves to make your muscles move, and your heart beats using a tiny electrical pulse.
