Some athletes will consume a large amount of carbohydrates known as carbo loading. Why would this be advantageous to an athlete but, detrimental to the average person? a. Carbohydrates are made of proteins which would help the athlete but, the average person doesn't need them.
b. Carbohydrates contain hereditary information that an athlete could use to build muscle but, the average person would not benefit.
d. Carbohydrates store and release energy which would be helpful to an athlete who burns a lot of calories but, for the average person it would be stored as fat.

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf Choice \ D}}$

Explanation:

The body easily breaks down and digests carbohydrates. They provide quick energy.

Athletes need energy to continue through an activity. Athletes can benefit from carbohydrates because they will provide a boost of sugar that can be converted to energy/ATP in cellular respiration.

For a normal person who doesn't burn large amounts of energy and calories, too many carbohydrates still provide a large influx of sugar. But it isn't turned into ATP because the body has no need for the extra energy. Instead, it is stored as glycogen in the liver or triglycerides in fat.

So, carbohydrates aren't made of proteins and they don't contain hereditary information. That leaves choice D as the correct Carbohydrates store and release energy which would be helpful to an athlete who burns a lot of calories but, for the average person it would be stored as fat.

1) gene flow

- it is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-a zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) natural selection

- a mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) mutation

- permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of dna ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-the dna of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) genetic drift - it is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.

-a grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.

After a recent rainy season, a number of the communities in a western state suffered flooding and mudslides. a study commissioned by the state legislature determined that the extensive removal of a certain plant from hillsides within the state contributed significantly to the flooding and mudslides. the plant had an extensive root system that hold hillside soil in place, and it was being rapidly removed because its roots had recently gained national favor as a powerful herbal remedy. as a result, the legislature passed a statute prohibiting the removal of more than 50% of such plants from any hillside within the state. a landowner within the state challenged the statute under the takings clause of the fifth amendment, alleging that he had regularly harvested substantially more than 50% of the plants from his property and needed to do the same this year to meet the demand for the root. is he likely to prevail in his challenge?
