Question

make a table showing protein and enargy contents food

Answer 1

Food energy is chemical energy that
animals (including humans) derive from food through the process of
cellular respiration . Cellular respiration may either involve the chemical reaction of food molecules with molecular oxygen [1] (aerobic respiration) or the process of reorganizing the food molecules without additional oxygen (anaerobic respiration ).
Humans and other animals need a minimum intake of food energy to sustain their metabolism and to drive their muscles. Foods are composed chiefly of carbohydrates , fats ,
proteins , water , vitamins , and
minerals . Carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and water represent virtually all the weight of food, with vitamins and minerals making up only a small percentage of the weight. (Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins comprise ninety percent of the dry weight of foods. [2] ) Organisms derive food energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins as well as from organic acids, polyols , and ethanol present in the diet. [3] Some diet components that provide little or no food energy, such as water, minerals, vitamins,
cholesterol and fiber, may still be necessary to health and survival for other reasons. Water, minerals, vitamins, and cholesterol are not broken down (they are used by the body in the form in which they are absorbed) and so cannot be used for energy. Fiber cannot be completely digested by most animals, including humans. However, ruminants can extract food energy from the respiration of cellulose because of
bacteria in their rumens.
