Briefly describe howit works.:-Bombcalorimeter measures how much energy/how manycalories there are in a food-How it works: When food is burned, energy is released asheat, heat is captured in water, and the change in watertemperature is measured to determine the energy content ofthe foodThe heat generated in a bomb calorimeter for protein is 5.6kcal/g, yet on a food label it tells me that protein is 4kcal/gram. Why are these values different?:The values are different because the food label refers tophysiological fuel value.
