What is a unit of energy that indicates the amount of energy contained in food?
The recommended unit for any type of energy is, of course, the joule. The older unit, calorie, is still often used for food. If spelled with a capital "C", "Calorie", it usually means a kilocalorie.
Which represents more energy a joule or a calorie?
A calorie is greater - it is equal to about 4.2 joules.
What is the unit for the expression of the amount of energy in a particular food?
The international unit for energy is the joule. Specifically for food, an old-fashioned unit, the kilocalorie (often just written Calorie, with an uppercase "C"), is often used instead. One kilocalorie is about 4200 joules.
The SI unit of energy is the calorie?
No, the calorie is an older unit. The SI unit is the Joule.
How many calories of heat make up one calorie?
One calorie of heat is equivalent to one kilocalorie (kcal) in nutrition. This means that when we talk about calories in food, we are actually referring to kilocalories, where 1 kcal is equal to 1000 calories of heat energy.

What is the relationship of a kilocalorie and a calorie?
As far as I know, they are the same thing. Either that or a calorie is infinitesimal. Kilocalories are what most refer to simply as calories (the calories listed on food labels.)AnswerThe clue is in the prefix, 'kilo'. A kilocalorie (kcal) is one-thousand calories (cal). The problem is that people in the food industry are either simply too lazy or too stupid to use the work 'kilocalorie'.As the calorie is an obsolete unit, they should be using the joule.
