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.

What is the name of the process where a material that is weak enough to flow will rises when it is hot and sinks when it is cool
aksik [14]

Answer:

Convection process

Explanation:

The process of convection is commonly takes place in the mantle portion of the earth and also at the atmosphere.

This process is usually defined as the process where the materials are heated at a high temperature, thereby making them less denser, and due to their low density they are gradually pushed upward into the upper zones. As the materials rises up, the density gradually increases due to the lowering of the temperature, and then the materials again sinks. This give rise to the formations of a circulating cell, which are commonly known as the convection cells.
