The energy transactions of biochemistry are conveniently measured in units of kilocalories per mole. One kilocalorie is the quantity of energy needed to raise the temperature of a kilogram of water one degree Celsius. A mole is the amount of a substance in grams that is numerically equal to its molecular weight; a mole of the sugar glucose, for example, weighs 180 grams. 4, record 1, English, - kilocalorie

En biochimie, il est d'usage de mesurer les opérations de transfert d'énergie en kilocalories par mole. Une kilocalorie représente la quantité d'énergie nécessaire pour élever d'un degré Celsius la température d'un kilogramme d'eau. Une mole est la quantité de substance, exprimée en grammes, égale à son poids moléculaire; une mole de glucose, par exemple, pèse 180 grammes. 4, record 1, French, - kilocalorie
