PLTW Biomedical Science Final Study Guide

Questions & Answers


1. What is a calorie?

Answer A unit of heat energy



2. With our crude calorimeters in class we burned food by lighting it on fire.

What chemical reaction occurs when food is burned? How does this reaction

relate to the breakdown of food for energy in our body?

Answer A combustion reaction occurs. The food and oxygen in the air combine to

form carbon dioxide and water molecules and produce lots of energy. This happens in

the body as well, using enzymes to catalyze all of the reactions.



3. If you burned a sample of food and the temperature of 100g of water in your

calorimeter rose from 20oC to 36oC, how many calories were in the food

sample?

Calories = (specific heat of water) x (change in temp of water) x (mass of water)

Specific heat of water = 1 calorie/goC

Answer Calories = (1 cal/goC) (16oC) (100g) = 1600 calories



4. If the food sample you burned above had a mass of 10g before burning

and 8g after burning, how many calories/gram did the food contain?

Answer 1600 calories/2g = 800 calories/gram



5. We are expressing our calories calculated above as chemistry calories. How are

food calories different?

Answer 1 food Calorie = 1000 chemistry calories



6. Which macromolecules -- carbohydrates, proteins or lipids - have the high-

est calories/gram?
