Question

question 1-14 using evidence from the sources, what change did using endurance fuel have on devin’s glucose level? explain why this would help devin participate longer in athletics competition. in your answer, be sure to include: - evidence for how endurance fuel affected devin’s glucose level - identify the chemical reaction that devin’s body uses to produce energy to play football - explain why this change in glucose would be beneficial for devin’s ability to undergo this reaction

Explanation:

1. Effect of Endurance Fuel on Glucose Level: Endurance Fuel likely increases Devin’s glucose level. Glucose is a primary energy source for the body, especially during physical activity. Endurance supplements often contain carbohydrates (which break down into glucose) to replenish energy stores.
2. Evidence for Glucose Level Change: If Devin’s glucose level was measured before and after using Endurance Fuel, an increase would be seen. Carbohydrate - rich fuels are digested and absorbed as glucose, raising blood glucose.
3. Chemical Reaction for Energy (Cellular Respiration): Devin’s body uses the reaction \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{O}_2

ightarrow6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O}+\text{Energy (ATP)} \) (cellular respiration). Glucose (\( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \)) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP (adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell).

1. Benefit of Glucose Change for Football: Increased glucose provides more substrate for cellular respiration, producing more ATP. More ATP means more energy for muscle contractions, allowing Devin to run, tackle, and play for longer durations without fatigue quickly. This energy is essential for the high - intensity and sustained activity in football.

Answer:

• Change in Glucose Level: Using Endurance Fuel likely increases Devin’s glucose level as it provides carbohydrates that break down into glucose.
• Evidence: Carbohydrate - based Endurance Fuel is digested and absorbed as glucose, so blood glucose measurements would show an increase post - consumption.
• Chemical Reaction: Devin’s body uses cellular respiration (\( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{O}_2

ightarrow6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O}+\text{ATP} \)) to produce energy from glucose.

• Benefit for Football: Increased glucose leads to more ATP production via cellular respiration. More ATP gives Devin more energy for muscle activity, helping him play football longer without rapid fatigue.
