Sparrowarrow_forwardScientists were studying the effects exercise (running on a treadmill) has on the amount CO2 production and breathing rates on humans. Their conclusion was that a person who just completed a bout of exercise would have higher CO2 production and increased breathing rates when compared to when they were sitting in a chair. They also found that CO2 production and breathing rates would increase the longer they exercised. Based upon what we know about cellular respiration and energy production, select the reason that best explains the results of the testing above, CO2 production increases because CO2 is being made in the electron transport chain to keep the electrons moving. Breathing rates will increase in order to get rid of the lactic acid from working muscles. CO2 production increases because more of this is made as a direct result of glucose being split for energy. Breathing rates will increase with exercise in order to supply the muscles with more O2. Nearrow_forward
