Breathing And Exercise Flashcards
How can we release more energy for muscle contraction during exercise
By increasing the rate of respiration
How can we increase the rate of respiration
It needs more oxygen and glucose arriving at the cell. The glucose and oxygen arrive at the cells quicker that means and the heart rate will increase and pump the blood around the body faster
What is the result of having more respiration
ATP is provided and muscles can contract easier
What does oxygen do to increase the rate of respiration
It increases the breathing rate
Independant variable
The variables that change throughout the experiment
Dependant variable
What you are measuring
How does exercise affect your breathing rate
It needs more respiration, meaning more oxygen would be needed which increases the breathing rate and more carbon dioxide would be produced
What happens to your breathing rate straight after exercise
It increases because your body needs more oxygen in your blood
