Question

question 8 of 20 : select the best answer for the question. 8. by consuming the appropriate amount of ______ in your diet, you’re better able to recover from exercise, build muscle, and strengthen your immune system. a. carbohydrates b. amino acids c. fats d. sugars mark for review (will be highlighted on the review page) << previous question next question >>

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Carbohydrates are mainly for energy, not directly for muscle building or immune strengthening in the described way.
• Option B: Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Consuming appropriate amino acids (from protein sources) helps in muscle repair and growth (recovering from exercise, building muscle) and also supports immune system function as proteins are involved in immune responses.
• Option C: Fats are important for energy storage, hormone production, etc., but not the primary nutrient for muscle building and immune strengthening as described.
• Option D: Sugars are a type of carbohydrate, mainly for quick energy, not for the functions mentioned.

So, amino acids are the correct choice.

Answer:

B. amino acids
