Detailed explanation-1: -A calorie is a unit of measure of energy. Very specifically, it is the amount of energy that is required to raise the temperature of one mL, (which is also one gram), of water by one degree Celsius.
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is Calories. Energy is measured in units of calories, kilocalories (kcal) or kilojoules (kJ). A calorie is a unit that is used to measure energy. One kilocalorie (1 kcal) is equal to 4.18 kilojoules (4.18 kJ).
Detailed explanation-3: -A sample of the food is placed in an insulated, oxygen-filled chamber that is surrounded by water. This chamber is called a bomb calorimeter. The sample is burned completely. The heat from the burning increases the temperature of the water, which is measured and which indicates the number of calories in the food.
