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.

Name the difference between a food chain and a food web. Also state a few animals role in the food chain and food web.
Brums [2.3K]
The food chain in a visual representation of how energy is flowed through out a specific environment. While it is very similar to the food web, the main difference is that the web gives a more broad wide range of organisms and it is more specific with what eats what. The second part of your question about a few animals roles umm... Grass is a producer which has the role of feeding primary consumers, it is the base of the chain or web without it the whole thing would collapse. Tertiary consumers such as owls have the role of eating secondary consumers. I always thought of it like the tertiary consumers are population control since nothing eats them they have no responsibility to feed other organisms just make sure that secondary consumers don't overpopulate.
