For athletes involved in preparation for prolonged heavy exercise, it is recommended that ________ percent of their Calories sho

uld be obtained from carbohydrates.
Biology
1 answer:
Alchen [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

60-70%

Explanation:

Carbohydrate is the most important source of energy needed in preparation for prolonged exercise that consumes energy and requires endurance and strength to combat fatigue.  

Carbohydrate is a more efficient fuel than fat as carbohydrates are easily broken down  to supply an athlete with glucose as readily available energy, and also glycogen that is stored in the muscles, which are used as a fuel source during exercise. Hence, for prolonged heavy exercise, it is recommended that athletes need high carbohydrate consumption of 60-70 percent of their calories to maintain optimal performance.

Create a table in which you compare the components and functions of the following.
Sauron [17]

Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are the four major types of biomolecules that form all living things. These biomolecules consists of monomers linked together by covalent bonds to form polymers.

  • Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids can be classified according to their basic elements, monomer constituents, and functions.

Basic elements:

  1. Nucleic acids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Phosphorous (P)
  2. Proteins: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Sulfur (Z)
  3. Carbohydrates: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O)
  4. Lipids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Phosphorous (P)

Monomer constituents:

  1. Nucleic acids: nucleotides
  2. Proteins: amino acids
  3. Carbohydrates: monosaccharides
  4. Lipids: fatty acids and glycerol

Functions:

  1. Nucleic acids: contains the hereditary information to synthesize proteins
  2. Proteins: regulate metabolic processes (enzymes), the main biomolecule of cellular structures
  3. Carbohydrates: store energy (short term); form cellular structures
  4. Lipids: store energy (long term); the main component of biological membranes

Examples:

  1. Nucleic acids: DNA and RNA
  2. Proteins: lactase; collagen
  3. Carbohydrates: starch (polysaccharide); glucose (monosacharide)
  4. Lipids: phospholipids; cholesterol

Describe the strength of the magnetic field at points a b and c in the image below. Explain your answers in the terms of magneti
Nastasia [14]

The magnetic fields are strongest at point A and weakest at point C. The magnetic field lines can be used to indicate the strength of a magnet or magnetic field. The closer together the magnetic field lines the stronger the magnetic field.

Explanation:

The magnetic field line also shows the direction of the magnetic field, hence they are also considered vector fields because they have magnitude and direction. They usually have an arrow indicating that the field lines are moving from the north pole to the south pole. The lines also never cross and are always in closed loops.
