The caloric value of food refers to the amount of energy that is produced as a result of complete combustion of that food under normal conditions.
Foods have energy which are stored in the chemical bonds that hold their molecules together. This stored energy is released when the chemical bonds are broken during metabolic processes such as respiration. The amount of energy in different foods differ and  the quantity of energy in the chemical bonds that hold the food molecules together will determine the amount of energy that will be obtained from the food. 
 In most food molecules, the chemical bond that hold the food molecules together is C-H bond. C-H bond is a strong covalent bond which give stability to the food molecule. The higher the chemical energy that is stored in this bond, the higher the caloric value of food. Thus, the calorific value of food is depended on the quantity of energy that reside in the C-H bond.

Explain why DNA requires structural robust and efficient storage and organization mechanisms/structures.
wel

Answer:

DNA packaging contributes to the compaction of the genetic material into cells that are many times smaller and also regulates gene expression and cell replication in living systems.

Explanation:

DNA is a fundamental molecule that contains instructions that make each organism unique. Each chromosome is composed of a very long linear DNA molecule associated with histone proteins that compact the genetic material, which is known as DNA packaging. Transcription and replication require that both strands of the DNA separate. Nonetheless, during DNA packaging, nucleosomes and the folding into chromatin fibers ensure chromosomal DNA is correctly packaged inside smaller nuclei. In consequence, DNA packaging not only enables the compaction of long linear DNA into the cells but also is involved in key biological processes such as gene regulation (transcription) and cell replication.
