Two teams of scientists hiked 10 kilometers to different study sites. Before their hike, the Valley team ate a lunch of mostly protein. The Mountain team ate a lunch of a mix of starch and protein, but hiked at high altitude, where there is much less oxygen. Which team probably had an easier time hiking?

B. Neither team had an easy time hiking; the Valley team's cells needed more glucose from broken-down starch for a reaction, and the Mountain team's cells needed more oxygen from air.

Explanation:

These is the question with the options below;

Two teams of scientists hiked 10 kilometers to different study sites. Before their hike, the Valley

team ate a lunch of mostly protein. The Mountain team ate a lunch of a mix of starch and protein, but

hiked at high altitude, where there is much less oxygen. Which team probably had an easier time

hiking?

a

Both teams had an easy time hiking because their digestive systems broke down proteins

into amino acids for cells to release energy.

b

Neither team had an easy time hiking: the Valley team's cells needed more glucose from

broken-down starch for a reaction, and the Mountain team's cells needed more oxygen from

air.

С

The Mountain team had an easier time hiking: their cells released energy from protein

reacting with glucose, which was broken down from starch in the digestive system.

d

The Valley team had an easier time hiking; their cells released energy from protein breaking

down in the digestive system, which then combined with oxygen in cells.

We are informed about Two teams of scientists who hiked 10 kilometers to different study sites. Before their hike, the Valley team ate a lunch of mostly protein. The Mountain team ate a lunch of a mix of starch and protein, but

hiked at high altitude, where there is much less oxygen. In this case both the team doesn't had easy time hiking, the Valley team requires in their cell more glucose from broken-down starch for reactions ,the Mountain team on the other hand required more oxygen in their cell as they go higher, since they ate a a mix of starch and protein for lunch.
