14. BIOMOLECULES (HM)
Explanation:
The amount of energy released when one gram of any of these food elements is burned is known as calorific value. Thus the calorific value of food indicates as to how much is the energy value of food which the human body can gain through metabolism. It is usually given in \(kcal / gm\).Fats form the most concentrated source of energy in our diet. \(1\,gram\) of fat yields \(9.5\,kcal\) of energy which is the highest among the food components. \(1\,gram\) of carbohydrates and proteins yield the almost similar amount of energy which is equal to \(4\,kcal.\)
