What is food energy and how can it be measured Food energy from carbohydrates proteins fats Units food calories (kcal) or kilojoules (1kcal = 418kJ)

1 food Calorie = 1000 calories

SI unit kilojoules1 food Calorie = 41kJ (kilojoules)

As humans are autotrophs we take energy from food in form of carbohydrates lipids or proteins

(1 calorie = the energy required to raise the temperature of 1g water by 1oC)

Carbohydrates are broken down into monosaccharides (sugars) during digestion absorbed into the blood and assimilated into cells for respiration

Foods rich in sugars or simple (processed) carbohydrates give a quick release of blood sugar More complex carbohydrates give a slower more sustained release of sugars to the blood

Fats are a highly efficient store of energy as they contain long-chain fatty acids made with many carbon atoms During the link reaction of respiration pairs of carbon atoms are transported into the Krebs cycle and used to produce ATP

Sohellip long chains + lots of carbons = lots of energy storage They are easier to build than they are to break down though

Proteins are long-chain polymers of amino acids and contain carbon atoms They can be used for cell respiration though they are harder to metabolise than lipids or carbohydrates
