Question

make a hypothesis: what will happen to oxygen consumption levels when the mouse starts running in the wheel?
a) oxygen consumption will increase
b) oxygen consumption will decrease
c) oxygen consumption will be constant

Explanation:

When an animal like a mouse increases physical activity (running), its muscle cells require more energy. Cellular respiration, which uses oxygen to produce energy, speeds up to meet this higher energy demand, leading to greater oxygen consumption.

Answer:

a) Oxygen consumption will increase
