Volume / Fluids / Capacity
1 liter (1 l) = 10 dl = 100 cl = 1000 ml
Since 1964 is 1 liter (1 l (in the USA often 1 L)) = 1 cubic dm (dm³) and 1 ml = 1 cubic cm (cm³).
Many books state, even today, that 1 ml = 1.000027 cc or 1.000028 cc.
Today 1 ml = 1 cc (1 cubic centimeter)!

1 calorie = 4.18400 joules (Applies to chemistry and biochemistry) = (Heating 1 g of water 1 degree Celsius (1 Centigrade)).
1 Calorie (1 Cal) = 1000 calories (1000 cal) = 1 kcal
Many authors are quite sloppy and use "calories" and "grams" instead of the more correct terms "kcal" and "g".
Don't follow their steps or the advantage of a stringent use will be lost. The SI system use joule instead of calories. 1 cal (thermochemical) = 4.184 joule (J). 1 g of carbohydrates or protein equals ca. 17 kJ.
If you only consumed 5000 calories ( = 5 kcal) a day you would starve to death in less than two months. A normal consumption is approximately 2500 kcal/day (2 500 000 cal/day).
1 g of glucose = 3.81 kcal
1 g of palmitate (fat) = 9.30 kcal
1 g of alcohol (1.4 ml) = 7 kcal
1 g of protein = ca. 4 kcal (It's actually a lot more and differs between the different amino acids, but the kidneys consume a lot of energy to relieve the body from the resulting urea. The net gain is 4 kcal/g.
