It will be better to use a sports drink instead of water for children and athletes especially in hot conditions because sports drink contain carbohydrates, water and electrolytes which help athletes refuel and rehydrate.

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Sports drinks contain water and electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium.  Electrolytes can maintain your body's ionic balance. Whereas water is the most logical form of hydration. Sports drinks can help replace what we lose during longer duration exercise, especially in the heat.

Not only water and electrolytes, sports drink also contain carbohydrates which help restore the body's glycogen levels or fuel levels. These electrolytes and carbohydrates help athletes refuel and rehydrate.

One of sports drink brand, Gatorade claims their product hydrates better than water because of these additional ingredients (Electrolytes and carbohydrates).  But, some research backs their claims. University of California at Berkeley says that sports drinks might better than water for children and athletes who engage in prolonged, vigorous physical activity for more than one hour, especially in hot conditions. For example people with exercise 60-90 min not need to drink the sport drink to maintain their stamina

Why are biologists still debating the classification of protozoans
e-lub [12.9K]

The biologists have categorized protozoans as a part of Kingdom Protista, they have attempted to sort protists in comparison to three of the other kingdoms, that is, animals, plants, and fungi. However, this has not worked as several of the protists demonstrate features from two or more of these kingdoms.  

The protozoans show considerable diversity, that is, some live as predators, some as parasites, and some others are thriving as producers. Scientists have attempted to categorize the organisms within the protists as either fungus-like, plant-like, or animal-like.  

However, close testing and genetic examination have shown that these classifications often does not imply.
