Question

question 6 (mandatory) (1 point) kim is an athlete and weighs more than her sister, who is of the same height. what could be the reason? kim has more muscle mass than her sister because she spends more time being physically active and building muscle. as part of her athletic regimen, kim regularly cuts her caloric intake to reduce her weight. to fuel her high level of activity, kim consumes extra calories and carbohydrates

Explanation:

The question is about why Kim, an athlete of the same height as her sister, weighs more. Muscle mass is denser than fat, so having more muscle (due to physical activity like building muscle, as in the first option) would increase weight. The second option is about reducing weight (cutting caloric intake), which wouldn't explain higher weight. The third is about fueling activity (consuming extra calories), but that's about energy for activity, not directly about weight difference from muscle vs fat. So the first option, where Kim has more muscle mass because she’s physically active, is the logical reason for higher weight at the same height.

Answer:

Kim has more muscle mass than her sister because she spends more time being physically active and building muscle.
