Exothermic reactions
Releases energy
Two important exothermic reactions
Combustion reaction and cellular reaction
Two important endothermic reactions
Photosynthesis and electrolysis
Combustion reaction
Exothermic
Photosynthesis
Endothermic reaction
The energy released by…
the reaction is measured in JOULES or KILOJOULES.
Calorie
A calorie is another unit of energy. A calorie is the amount of energy, or heat, it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. The number of calories in a food is a measure of how much energy that food has. The calories of food are measured in Calories or kilocalories.
BMR
Basal metabolic rate.
Your BMR is the amount of energy your body needs to function
Formula of BMR women
655 + (9.6 x weight in Kg) + (1.8 x height in cm) - (4.7 x age in years)
Formula of BMR men
66 + (13.7 x weight in Kg) + (5 x height in cm) - (6.8 x age in years)
How to get calories
Sedentary: BMR x 20 percent
Lightly active: BMR x 30 percent
Mostly active: BMR x 40 percent
Is digestion of food an endothermic or exothermic process?
Exothermic it give us energy
Name two units used to measure energy
Joules, kilojoules,calorie and kilocalorie
Name three important nutrients and the amount of Kcal per gram they supply
- carbohydrates: 4kilocalories per gram.
- Proteins: 4 kilocalories per gram.
- Fat: 9 kilocalories per gram.
What is the basal metabolic rate (BMR)?
The amount of energy your body needs to function
