Law of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only
changed in form. The total energy in the universe
is a constant.
Energy measured in calories(cal) and joules (J).
1 cal = 4.184 J and is the amt of heat energy
needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water
by 1 degree C.
Food calorie = 1000 cal or Kcal (kilocalories)
