Answer: The correct answer is fat.

Explanation:

Though, our body uses carbohydrates as the primary source of energy but fats provide more energy and heat as compared to the carbs.

Each gram of fat provides 9 Kcal of energy as compared to 4 Kcal of energy produced by carbs or proteins.

In addition, fats or lipids are long term energy reserves of the body. So, they are able to provide you energy during long duration of physical activity such as hiking.

Fats also help in making an insulating layer around the body which decreases the surface lost of heat and thus, help in keeping you warm.

You must pack food that has high concentrations of fat and protein. Food like granola bars and canned meat are a good source of energy and heat. This is because the body breaks this food down easily converting it into usable energy. Though some people would suggest that you pack food that are high in carbohydrates, fats and proteins are long-term sources of energy that you would need for your hiking trip.

Which area of the graph shows the activation energy required if an enzyme was not present
boyakko [2]

B

Area B of the graph shows the activation energy required if an enzyme was not present

Explanation:

Reactions with high activation energy cannot occur spontaneously. Enzymes are responsible for lowering this activation energy and enabling reactions to occur at a faster pace than natural. An example is carbonic anhydrase enzyme that enables increased rates of carbon dioxide dissolving in and out of blood plasma.

Enzymes distort the bond of reactants such that they become unstable ( this raises the reactants Gibbs free energy). The bonds therefore break and rearrange to form the products of lower and stable energy states.
