Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipase is typically released during physical activity and stress responses, such as running away from a bear. This allows the body to mobilize stored fat for energy. Reading a book or watching TV are sedentary activities that would not typically stimulate lipase release. Eating may or may not stimulate lipase release depending on the types of food consumed and the individual's digestive process. Therefore, the best choice is C - running from a bear.
