Where are calories stored in the body?
If you eat too many calories, instead of using them for energy your body stores the energy as fat to use at a later time. It is stored in your liver, muscles and fat cells.
How many ounces are in half a gallon?
128 ounces in a gallon 128/2= 64 ounces are in a half gallon
How many watts of energy are in a gallon of salt water?
The energy content of a gallon of salt water would depend on the concentration of salt in the water. On average, seawater contains about 3.5% salt. Using this concentration, a gallon of salt water would contain very minimal energy in the form of trace amounts of potential thermal energy due to the dissolved salt. It would not be practical to extract energy from a gallon of salt water in this context.
How many calories are stored in one pound of muscle mass?
One pound of muscle mass contains about 600 calories. Muscle tissue is metabolically active, meaning it requires energy to be maintained and can contribute to overall energy expenditure in the body.
Why is it important to measure calories?
Your question is ambiguous, but I'll try to give you a few answers:1) Measuring food calories is important because these calories relate to human or animal nutrition and health. If you are getting too few your body will not have enough energy to function. If you are getting too many your body will try to store the extra energy by creating fat, which is calorie-rich material. If you get calories in the wrong form for your metabolism, you may have too much energy and not enough other nutritional building blocks to use it; that might result in fat build-up or an upset metabolism.2) Measuring external calories is important because energy is what runs machines. We usually don't measure machine energy in calories. We measure that in joules or kilowatt-hours. It's energy, nonetheless, and counting energy is important for both economic and ecological purposes.
