Fats burn in the flame of carbohydrates" refers to the fact that when glycogen gets depleted during prolonged high-intensity exercise, fat oxidation will subsequently be reduced. Group of answer choices: True False An enzyme that works in the stomach will have a lower optimal pH compared to the optimal pH for enzymes that work in other areas of the body. Group of answer choices: True False A shift from fat to carbohydrate usage with increasing exercise intensity can occur because lactate stimulates α glycerol phosphate to convert 3 fatty acids into stored triglycerides, thus promoting carbohydrate usage. Group of answer choices: True False Research indicates that genetics plays a large role in an individual's VO2 max (i.e., inherited from their parents). Group of answer choices: True False Short-term, high-intensity activities will have a greater contribution from anaerobic energy systems than aerobic energy systems. Group of answer choices: True False

Describe the observed change in fat and carbohydrate utilization between the lower and higher intensity of exercise and explain whether this change is expected. Discuss the likely fuel sources (i.e. muscle and blood-derived fuels) contributing to fat and carbohydrate utilization during exercise and how the contributions of these fuel stores likely differ between the low and higher intensity exercise bout.
