Question 3

What does the energy transfer?

Answer 3

The energy transferred supplies all the energy needed for living processed.

Question 4

Describe the effects of exercise in respiration:

Answer 4

Short term: Would be increased use of oxygen (because muscles will require more oxygen in order to work) for heart to supply enough oxygen it has to increase its rate.

Long term: Would be increase capacity and effectiveness of lungs, faster gaseous exchange from carbon dioxide to oxygen. Body will be more efficient using at using oxygen.

Question 5
