Question

now that we can perform some experiments, which parameters could you use to measure the effect of exercise on cellular respiration in mice?
a) blood lactic acid concentration
b) all options
c) blood glucose concentration
d) oxygen consumption

Explanation:

• Blood lactic acid rises when mice rely on anaerobic cellular respiration during intense exercise, indicating a shift in respiratory pathways.
• Blood glucose is the primary fuel for cellular respiration; changes in its concentration reflect how exercise alters fuel use for respiration.
• Oxygen consumption directly measures the rate of aerobic cellular respiration, as oxygen is a key reactant in this process. All three parameters are valid measures of exercise's effect on cellular respiration in mice.

Answer:

b) All options
