Question

question 1-12
source 1
a high school football coach is concerned about his star quarterback, devin. at the end of each game, devin experiences intense fatigue and decreased coordination. his coach discovered a nutrition company called tailwind that offers a product, endurance fuel, that provides fuel to meet increased athletes’ energy demands.
choose the statement below that correctly describes how the body will use the endurance fuel.

• endurance fuel has fluids that provide devin’s body with the blood cells that it needs to carry nutrients to cells.
• endurance fuel is the only source that can provide devin’s body with fluids that keep him hydrated.
• there was no significant difference in hydrating with endurance fuel versus hydrating with water.
• endurance fuel has carbohydrates that will be broken down by the digestive system and eventually used by cells to release energy.

Explanation:

To determine the correct statement, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Endurance Fuel (a nutrition product) likely has carbohydrates (energy - giving nutrients) that are broken down by the digestive system into smaller units (like glucose) which are then used by cells for energy (via cellular respiration). This aligns with how the body uses nutrients for energy.
• Option 2: Endurance Fuel is not the "only" source of fluids for hydration (water is a primary source too), so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Endurance Fuel is a nutrition product, not primarily for hydration (water is better for hydration), so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: The fluid in Endurance Fuel is not the main way to carry nutrients to cells (blood is the main transport medium), so this is incorrect.

Answer:

Endurance Fuel has carbohydrates that will be broken down by the digestive system and eventually used by cells to release energy.
