Because he/she needs to store large quantities of energy that he/she would require for the race. Pasta mainly consists of wheat which a carbohydrate. carbohydrates are primary source of energy in the body. once an athlete consumes pasta, starch in the wheat will digested to produce excess glucose which will be stored in form of glycogen in the live by the help of hormone insulin. during the race day, when an athlete uses all glucose in the blood, glycogen is converted to glucose through the help of hormone glucagon. glucose is transported to skeletal muscle cells where it is converted to energy.

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1. adaption

Explanation:

Salmon have special adaptation behavior that allows them to live in both freshwater and saline water during their lives.

<u>Salmons are born in freshwater where they spend few months and then move to saline water. For laying eggs, they again move to freshwater because eggs are unable to survive in saline water due to a process known as osmoregulation.</u>

Moving from freshwater to ocean water, salmon adapt according to the environment for their survival.

Hence, the correct answer is "1. adaption"
