Answer:
When we climb up a mountain, the breathing rate becomes faster and as we continue to climb, we start breathing deeper and heavier, i.e. start gasping
This occurs because increased physical activity or exercise needs more energy.
Thus, to fulfil this need, the rate of respiration increases. The process of respiration requires more oxygen at high altitudes as, lesser oxygen is available there.
Hence, lactic acid level in our blood increases by anaerobic respiration and due to faster breathing, more carbon dioxide is produced, which causes heavy breathing.
