Study Notes
Food as a Source of Energy
- Food provides energy for body activities like running, reading, and working, even when sleeping, for breathing and heart function
- In living organisms, energy from food is released and converted into other forms of energy supporting body functions
- Practical 7.8 demonstrates energy release from food
Burning Food Practical (Practical 7.8)
- Aim: To study energy release from food
- Materials (per group): Boiling tube, alcohol thermometer, burning spoon, Bunsen burner, insulating mat, stand and clamp, two-holed stopper, gas lighter, peanut
- Procedure:
- Fill a boiling tube with water (⅓ full)
- Insert an alcohol thermometer into the two-holed stopper, which is placed in the tube
- Secure the boiling tube on a stand using a clamp
- Record the initial water temperature (T₁)
- Heat the peanut on a burning spoon over a Bunsen burner until it burns completely
- Move the burning spoon around in the boiling tube
- Record the final water temperature (T₂)
- Caution: Do not clamp the boiling tube too tightly, do not let the thermometer bulb touch the bottom of the tube
Respiration
- Respiration is the process of releasing energy from food gradually inside cells.
- Chemical energy in food (glucose) is converted to other usable forms of energy supporting body functions.
- Oxygen is often needed during respiration.
- Carbon dioxide and water are usually produced during respiration.
- Respiration involves a series of controlled chemical reactions.
Photosynthesis and Respiration
- Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into food using light energy.
- Respiration converts food back into carbon dioxide and water releasing energy.
Energy Value of Food
- The energy value of food represents the amount of energy contained in a specific quantity of food, measured in kilocalories (kcal) or kilojoules (kJ).
- Nutrition labels on pre-packaged foods display energy values.

Description
This quiz explores the role of food as a source of energy and includes a practical experiment to study energy release from food using a peanut. You'll learn about the mechanisms where energy is stored in food and how it's converted for bodily functions. Engage with hands-on learning through the burning food practical.
