The graph measures the heart rates of two girls before, during, and after a short exercise. Heart rate is typically measured in beats per minute (BPM) and reflects the body's response to physical activity and its ability to maintain homeostasis during and after exercise.

It looks like you're working through a series of questions related to a graph showing heart rates. Unfortunately, I cannot see the graph you're referencing, so I cannot provide specific numerical answers for Austyn’s and Shanice's heart rates before and after exercising.

However, I can guide you on how to find the answers:

  1. For Austyn's heart rate before exercising: Locate the point on the graph that indicates her heart rate before the exercise begins (usually marked on the x-axis).

  2. For Shanice's heart rate before exercising: Similarly, find the point that corresponds to her heart rate before exercise.

  3. For Austyn's highest heart rate: Look at the graph during the exercise phase to identify the peak point for her heart rate.

  4. For Shanice's highest heart rate: Again, check the exercise phase for her peak heart rate.

If you're able to provide the data or details from the graph, I can assist further!

What is Austyn's heartrate before exercising? (1 point)

I don’t have the ability to view the graph you mentioned, so I can't provide the exact numerical heart rate for Austyn before exercising. To find that information, please look at the graph and locate Austyn's heart rate value at the time point marked for "before exercising." It should be displayed on the y-axis at the corresponding point on the x-axis. If you provide that specific data from the graph, I can help interpret or analyze it!

Describe in 1-2 sentences, what happens to the heart rates between the second and third minutes.(2 points)

Between the second and third minutes, both Austyn's and Shanice's heart rates likely show an increase as they begin the exercise, reflecting an increased demand for oxygen and energy by the muscles. This response is a part of the body's physiological adjustment to maintain homeostasis during physical activity.

Are the girls exercising more or resting during minutes nine and ten? Justify your answer in 1-2 sentences. (2 points)

During minutes nine and ten, the girls are likely resting, as their heart rates would typically decrease after the intensity of exercise. This decline in heart rate indicates that their bodies are recovering and returning to a more relaxed state, which is characteristic of resting after physical activity.

Explain how the graph demonstrates homeostasis with at least 3 sentences. Be sure to include specific data from the graph. (4 points)

While I cannot see the specific graph you're referencing, I can provide a general explanation based on typical heart rate responses during exercise. The graph demonstrates homeostasis by showing how heart rates increase during exercise to supply more oxygen to the muscles; for example, if Austyn's heart rate rises from 70 BPM before exercise to 150 BPM during peak exertion, this illustrates the body's effort to meet heightened metabolic demands. After exercising, both girls’ heart rates gradually return to their baseline, indicating an effective recovery process as the body works to restore balance. This return to resting heart rate, which might be around 70 BPM again after a few minutes, highlights the body's ability to regulate internal conditions despite external challenges.
