Question

Skyler is a hockey player. Skyler eats a meal at lunch before an afternoon game. The charts predict his substance levels over the course of the game. Create a model to describe how glucose becomes available from the pasta to the cells.

A) Linear model
B) Exponential model
C) Logistic model
D) No model needed

Answer 1

The model that can be used to represent the variation of glucose availability from pasta to cells is the linear model.

Step-by-step explanation:

The model that can be used to represent the variation of glucose availability from pasta to cells is the linear model.

In a linear model, the rate of glucose availability would remain constant throughout the game. This means that the amount of glucose available to the cells would increase at a steady pace.

For example, if Skyler eats a pasta meal that provides 50 grams of glucose and the linear model predicts that the glucose will be fully available to the cells after 3 hours, then after 1 hour, approximately 16.67 grams (50/3) of glucose would be available to the cells.
