Question | Answer |
---|---|
What 2 pieces of apparatus are needed for this experiment? | 1. Stopwatch 2. 2 Students |
How do we calculate the student's breathing rate at rest? | Count the number of breaths they take in one full minute |
How long should the student exercise for before calculating their breathing rate again? | At least 4 minutes |
How do we calculate the student's breathing rate after exercise? | Count the number of breaths they take in one full minute |
Name 3 factors that must be kept the same in this experiment | 1. Type of exercise done 2. Temperature of the environment 3. Food eaten by the students beforehand |
What are we changing in the experiment? | Whether the student has exercised or not |
What 3 things about the organism must be kept the same? | 1. Size 2. Gender 3. Relative fitness |
What does the experiment show? | Breathing rate increases with exercise |
Why does breathing rate increase with exercise? | Muscles respire more, meaning they need more oxygen supply and more carbon dioxide to be removed |
