Transport in Animals

Question 1

The effect of physical activity on the pulse rate

Answer 1

The pulse rate increases
The heart needs to pump faster to supply more oxygen and more glucose to the active muscles for more respiration and more energy is released
More carbon dioxide is produced which needs to be removed.
