Carb loading (eating lots of carbohydrates) is a common practice among marathon and triathlon runners. How does carb loading inc

rease a runner’s endurance on a cellular level? Select two choices to support your answer the cellular respiration process slows down to allow the muscles to store the needed energy the mitochondria in the muscles generate energy through cellular respiration cells can perform cellular respiration without input from other organs or organ systems heat provided by the run give the body energy to make ATP the lungs support cellular respiration by providing oxygen needed to produce ATP from the carbohydrates

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>By carb loading the glucose stored as glycogen can be used to derive energy which increases a runner’s endurance. </em>Two choices that support the answer are  

Mitochondria in the muscles generate energy through cellular respiration.  

<em>Lungs support cellular respiration by providing the oxygen needed to produce ATP from carbohydrates.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Carb loading is the process of increasing the content of carbohydrate in the diet to acquire energy for athletic activities. Excess glucose in the body is stored as glycogen in the liver as well as muscles. <em>During high endurance physical activities the glycogen in the muscles is used to derive energy.  </em>

The glycogen gets converted to ATP by the process of cellular respiration. The mitochondria in the muscle cells perform the process of generating energy. The glycogen in liver is released into the blood stream when needed so as to maintain blood sugar levels. <em>But the glycogen in muscles is used for giving energy to perform physical activities.  </em>

PROJECT: HOMEOSTASIS
Semenov [28]
Maintaining Homeostasis. The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis. ... Endocrine system: A high concentration of sugar in the blood triggers secretion of insulin by an endocrine gland called the pancreas.
The normal blood glucose level (tested while fasting) for non-diabetics, should be between 3.9 and 5.5 mmol/L (70 to 100 mg/dL). ...
 Blood sugar levels for those without diabetes and who are not fasting should be below 6.9 mmol/L (125 mg/dL).
There are lots of different hormones in the human body that serve lots of different functions, but some are used to maintain homeostasis of various physiological parameters, like blood glucose levels. Blood glucose levels are regulated by two opposing hormones: insulin and glucagon.

What advantages or disadvantages would you expect to be associated with knowing your own I Q
Setler [38]

Answer:

I can't think of any advantages to knowing your score.

Disadvantages of knowing your score - You're most likely to be average statistically...but does that matter? It doesn't tell you what you can or can't do, how successful you'll be, or what you'll face in the future. The total IQ score isn't really informative regarding almost anything. The exam is frequently used in clinical settings to assess areas of disability, competency, and so on...

(My opinion) :)))))
