You are camping in a canyon when a flash flood occurs and you are only able to grab some food before everything else washes away

. Hiking out of the canyon is your best chance for survival, so you need to pack light. You have waffle mix, maple syrup, cooking oil, candy, and a dehydrated sausage. In terms of caloric yield, which should you take to maximize your chance of reaching civilization before dying of starvation?

Answer:

dehydrated sausage

Explanation:

If the concept is to pack light then the way to go in order is

  1. Waffle mix/candy
  2. Sausage
  3. Maple syrup/cooking oil

However this is not calorie efficient. If we were to pack in order of calories then we would have to consider the following

  1. Waffle mix/candy: Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram
  2. Sausage: Protein provides 4 calories per gram; fats provides 9 calories per gram
  3. Maple syrup: Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram
  4. Cooking oil: Fat provides 9 calories per gram

The most calorie dense is the oil and the sausage. Now we can eliminate the waffle mix and candy and maple syrup. Finally we are left with the dehydrated sausage and oil. While oil is more calorie dense it is heavier than the sausage. The dehydrated sausage also has more protein that will be needed to support muscle and tissue maintenance during the hike. Best choice under the circumstance is the dehydrated sausage.

The term ____________________ means the lack of muscle coordination during voluntary movement.
tia_tia [17]

The term <u>Ataxia</u> means the lack of muscle coordination during voluntary movement.

  • Poor muscle control that results in awkward voluntary movements is known as ataxia.
  • It might make it difficult to move your eyes, speak, or walk steadily. It might also make it hard to coordinate your hands.
  • Ataxia is typically caused by injury to the cerebellum, which regulates muscular coordination, or its connections.
  • Ataxia is typically brought on by damage to the cerebellum, a region of the brain, although it can also be brought on by injury to the spinal cord or other nerves.
  • The spinal cord, which extends the length of the spine and connects the brain to every other part of the body, is a lengthy bundle of nerves.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Terms matched with the right definitions.  

1. An organism that can make its own food – Autotroph

2. A symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one species benefits and no effect is apparent to the other species – Commensalism.  

3. A cell that has a membrane-bound nucleus and/or organelles as its major characteristic -Eukaryote.  

4. The study of organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye - Microbiology.  

5.  A disease-causing organism - A germ pathogen.  

6. A one- or few-celled organism with chromosomes; may have characteristics of both animals and plants – Protist.


An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food from simple substances available in its environment. Autotrophs usually use inorganic chemical reactions or light energy in producing their food and are usually the producers in a food chain. Examples of autotrophs are plants and algae.


Commensalism is a type of relationship between organisms of two species where one organism benefits from the relationship and the other organism is not affected by it (neither benefits nor harmed).

The downfall of a tragic character is the result of __________.
ki77a [65]

The downfall of a tragic character is the result of <u>"a tragic flaw".</u>


The term hero is gotten from a Greek word that implies a man who faces affliction, or shows strength, despite risk. Nonetheless, at times he faces ruin too. At the point when a hero goes up against destruction, he is perceived as a tragic hero. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, portrays these plays or stories, in which the principle character is a shocking saint, as disasters. Here, the hero goes up against his ruin whether because of destiny, or by his own oversight, or some other social reason.  

Hamartia refers to a tragic flaw that causes the downfall of a hero.
