When you work out, your body's respiration rate increases to supply more oxygen to your muscles. This helps your cells produce energy through a process called aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen and creates carbon dioxide as a byproduct. As you exercise more intensely, your body breathes faster to take in more oxygen and get rid of the carbon dioxide more efficiently. This adjustment supports your muscles' need for energy and helps you keep moving during your workout.
In 4-5 sentences, answer this question. Make it simple and coherent.
Your body inhales oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide. When you work out, your body uses oxygen more quickly, creating carbon dioxide quickly as well. Your cells need oxygen to perform functions such as muscle movement. What do you think your body will do when you are working out? Try to use the term “respiration rate” in your answer.
