You and a group of friends are spending your vacation hiking through the mountains. it is cold in the mountains. you will be expending a lot of energy while hiking and you will need plenty of energy to keep you warm. you should pack foods high in to provide the most energy or kilocalories per gram of food. a) carbohydrates b) lipids (fats) c) proteins d) sugars

C. proteins

sorry if this didn't help...:(

and if it did please let me know! :)

The correct answer will be option-B (fats or lipids)

Explanation:

The oxidation of fatty acids provides the most abundant energy that is 9 kilocalories per gram of food as compared to proteins and the carbohydrate which provides only 4 kilocalories per gram of food.

If a person wants to go hiking then, the person would keep the food rich in fatty acids which will provide a high amount of energy and a large amount of heat through the process of respiration.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
