A calorie is a unit of heat used to measure the energy your body uses and the energy it receives from food. It represents the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
The unit of measurement used to measure the amount of heat produced during metabolism is kilocalorie (kcal). This unit is commonly used to quantify the energy content of food as well.
Calorie is the unit used to express chemical energy in food.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the primary energy unit produced and used in the cell. It serves as a source of energy for cellular processes by releasing energy when its phosphate bonds are broken.
erg
Any unit of energy can be used to describe the energy content of food.
You are confusing power with energy. A kilowatt is a unit of power, not a unit of energy.
The unit of measure for energy stored in food is typically represented in kilocalories (kcal) or kilojoules (kJ). This energy is derived from the macronutrients in food such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, and is used by the body for various functions and activities.
The energy in a human body is derived from the food we consume, which is converted into energy through a process called metabolism. This energy is used by the body to fuel various bodily functions, such as breathing, digestion, and movement. The unit typically used to measure energy in the body is the calorie.
