Answer:

b. The use of protein as an energy source is greater for endurance athletes than for those who body build or lift weights.

Explanation:

Proteins are macromolecules that serves as a source of nutrients for the body. They are obtained from foods such as milk, cheese, egg, chicken, meat, legumes( Beans, lentils).

The functions of proteins include the building up of the muscular structure of the body as well as the repair of old and worn out tissues in the body.

The use of protein as an energy source is greater for endurance athletes than for those who body build or lift weights and this is because proteins when consumed and digested are broken down into amino acids which serves as a source of energy when the carbohydrate( glycogen ) stores of energy in the body are depleted due to endurance trainings of exercise.

Proteins have been found to contain Branched Chain Amino Acids which are known to be very essential and important in the repair of worn out and damage tissues during endurance trainings or exercise.

Endurance Athletes are known to have very lean muscles and Branched Chained Amino Acids help in the building up of lean muscles.

Answer: b. The use of protein as an energy source is greater for endurance atheletes than those who body build or lift weights.

Explanation:

Proteins are the biomolecules. They are composed of polymers of amino acids. It is required by the body to repair tissues and build muscles, bones, and necessary component of skin, and cartilage.

The body of athletes require more protein than body builder or weight lifters. This is because during athletic practices like running, swimming and others the muscular mass should be strong enough to conduct long continous practice. The muscle mass is build up by proteins. The muscles may experience lack of oxygen during regular practice and may become weak. Thus require more protein so that the strength may remain maintained.

A ____ is the underlying combination of genetic material present (but outwardly invisible) in an organism.
Alex

Answer:

D (Genotype)

Explanation:

A genotype is the genetic make up of an organism i.e. what the genetic material

of an organism constitutes. Genotype describes the set of genes contained in an organism's genome. According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of genes called ALLELE for a trait, one from each parent. The genotype of a specific gene coding for a trait is represented by each pair of allele for that trait.

Although the genotype of an organism is outwardly invisible i.e. cannot be seen, but it determines the phenotype of that organism i.e. the outward appearance. For example, if a plant receives T and T alleles coding for tallness, from each parent. The genotype of that plant for the specific height trait will be (TT). Hence, the TT genotype although invisible but controls the tallness of the plant.

What allows the action potential to return to a repolarized state?
FinnZ [79.3K]
There are choices for this question namely:

<span>a. K+ leaks into cells.
b. Voltage-gated Na+ channels become inactivated.
c. Voltage-gated K+ channels become inactivated.
d. Na+ reaches equilibrium across the neural membrane and stops leaking in.
e. Voltage-gated Na+ channels close.

The correct answer is "voltage-gated Na+ channels become inactivated". In the events concerning an action potential, the first event is a stimulus that depolarize the resting membrane potential up to the threshold. When the threshold is reached there will be opening of voltage gated Na+ channels wherein sodium can enter the cell and make the membrane more positive therefore called depolarization. After depolarization, voltage gated Na+ channels become inactivated and K+ leaks out of the cell making the cell less negative hence repolarization. After which, more and more K+ ions leaks out making the membrane more negative than the resting membrane potential hence hyperpolarization. When K+ channels are inactivated, the cell membrane will eventually go back to its resting membrane potential.</span>
