Options are not provided in the question. The complete question is:

What exactly is the link between the extra glycogen associated with carbohydrate loading and enhanced performance in endurance sports?

a. The extra glycogen serves as a reservoir for glucose, which serves as the main fuel molecule for increased cellular respiration, resulting in more available ATP.

b. The extra glycogen undergoes the process of deamination, which is the first step in the breakdown of the carbon chains needed for ATP synthesis.

c.The extra glycogen is used during beta oxidation, which is a series of chemical reactions resulting in the formation of acetyl coenzyme A, which is essential to start the citric acid cycle of aerobic cellular respiration.

d. All of the listed responses explain the link between carbohydrate loading and enhanced performance in endurance sports.

Answer:

a.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose which represents the main storage form of glucose in the body.

During sports, a lot of energy is required. The glycogen serves to fulfil all the enrgy requirement of the body. The extra glycogen associated with carbohydrate or glucose serves energy to cellular respiration due to increase in physical actvities and provide more ATP.

Hence, the correct option is a.

How did earth get its moon
Tems11 [23]
<span><span>
 The Moon was once part of the Earth and somehow separated from the Earth early in the history of the solar system. The present Pacific Ocean basin is the most popular site for the part of the Earth from which the Moon came.  Possible since the Moon's composition resembles that of the Earth's mantle and a rapidly spinning Earth could have cast off the Moon from its outer layers. However, the present-day Earth-Moon system should contain "fossil evidence" of this rapid spin and it does not.</span></span>

True or False. In order for a dead organism to become a fossil, it is not important
UNO [17]
False, because most organisms decompose fairly quickly after they die. For an organism to be fossilized, the remains usually need to be covered by sediment soon after death. hope this helps :))
