1 THE ABILITY TO DO WORK Energy

2 Cells use energy for: Movement  Muscles, flagella wiggling Making and breaking chemical bonds.  Joining A.A. into protein. Pumping things into and out of cells  Pumping ions out of cells  Pumping wastes out of blood in kidney.

3 Energy is measured in calories 1 calorie is the energy needed to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. 1 ml of water weighs 1 gram. So 40ml water weighs ?

4 Calculating energy into calories. Multiply the amount of water [in grams] heated Times the increase in temperature in C. Practice: 50 ml water changes from 22C up to 30C How many calories was absorbed by the water?

5 More calculations Init T Final T ml Change Calories 134815 22340 173822

6 Burning releases the energy stored in wood

7 How would you release the energy stored in food?

8 Measuring the energy in food We will burn food and heat up water. We will calculate the amount of energy given off by the food we burn. [calories] We will mathematically adjust the amount of energy so that it represents 1g of food. [calories/g] This is done so different types of food or different amounts of food can be compared.

9 Calorimeter measured the energy.

10 Comparing the energy in 2 foods To get the data adjusted so it represents the same amount of food we do a simple calculation. Divide the calories released by the weight of food burned up. By dividing calories by the weight of the food we get calories per gram.

11 Sample calculations A kidney bean weighs 2.3g. It is burned up and the ashes weigh.6g 1.7 g of bean were lost. The burning bean heated 40ml of water from 17C up to 31C.  note: [14ml H2O = 14g of H2O] The water is 14C hotter. 14C x 40g water = 560 calories. 560 calories / by 1.7g= 329 calories/gram

12 Calculations Temp C InitialFinalChangeWater (g)calories 12352340 ml920 Mass InitialFinalchangeCalories/gram 2.1 g.8 g1.3 g920/1.3708 cal/g

13 Kilocalories…..kcal food calories 1 kcal has 1000 calories To convert calories into kcal………. Divide calories by 1000. 2300 calories = 2.3 kcal.
