Energy is released from food?
Yes, "calories" are a measurement of energy that is contained in the food you consume.
What is the form of energy that food contain?
Calories are units of energy provided by food.
Chemical energy is contained in what?
chemical energy is the energy stored in a matter such as food and fuel
What cellular organelles is responsible for releasing the energy contained in food?
Mitochrondria releases energy stored in food.
What units are used to show the energy content of food?
AZU
What are the units of energy in food?
they are jules or kilojules which are 1000 jules
What units are used to find how much energy people can get from food?
Calories
What units are used to measure the chemical energy in food?
Joules (J), the same for any measurement of energy.
Where does the food you eat obtain the energy contained in it?
The food you eat obtained the energy contained in it by eating plants, and or eating other organisms which ate plants. Plants obtain energy by a process known as photosynthesis in which they receive energy from the sun (photons) and store it in sugars such as chlorophyll. These sugars are starches and other carbohydrates which can be broken down and the stored energy is released and used by your body.
What units is energy measured in for food electricity heat?
In SI, all energy is measured in joules. It doesn't matter what type of energy you are referring to.
What units would you use to measure heat?
Heat energy is measured in joules (newton-meters), which are also a unit of work.The calorie is a mostly-superseded unit equal to 4.2 joules, while the "food energy" calorie is actually a kilocalorie (1000 calories).Units of temperature are a related value, indicating the relative contained heat energy. The units of temperature are the kelvin / degree Celsius and the different interval, the degree Fahrenheit. Classically, adding 1 mean calorie of heat energy would raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
Why we depend on the sun for energy?
Because it is sunlight that powers photosynthesis (producing all the food we eat) and fossil sunlight that is the energy contained in fossil fuels.
