With more demanding exercises (eg. running) more energy is needed and
therefore also more oxygen is needed (in the citric acid cycle) and more
carbon dioxide is produced. Therefore the heart and breathing rate is
becoming higher to enable the transportation of carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Normal resting heart rate for an untrained man is 70 - 75 bpm. And it's lower
for people that are well trained, it can be low as 25 bpm. And for old people it
is higher. Normal breathing rate/min is 13 - 16
Read the passage and observe the graph given above
Answer the following qestions:
7.1. What could be the reason of the breathing rate of person 2 after activity to be
lower than person 1 after activity?
7.2. Define breathing rate.
7.3. What are the gases being transported and what is the substance responsible
for the transport?
7.4. In whom do we generally observe high breathing rate even at rest?
