Question

what does a cheetahs body do to maintain homeostasis while its chasing its prey? (mark all that apply) carbon dioxide levels would increase as the cheetah breathes faster. oxygen levels would increase as the cheetah breathes faster. the heart would pump faster delivering oxygen to the muscles.

Explanation:

When a cheetah chases prey, it needs more energy. Breathing faster increases oxygen intake (not carbon - dioxide increase as a means of maintaining homeostasis). Also, a faster - pumping heart delivers more oxygen to muscles for energy production, which helps maintain homeostasis during high - energy activity.

Answer:

B. Oxygen levels would increase as the cheetah breathes faster.
C. The heart would pump faster delivering oxygen to the muscles.
