During exercise, a person’s muscles need a constant supply of ATP. To meet this need, the rate of which of the following processes increases? A. cellular respiration B. mitosis C. protein synthesis D. transcription
A. cellular respiration

Describe how a healthy person’s blood glucose level most likely changes after 45 minutes of intense exercise. Explain.
Blood glucose level drops because the glucose is used up by body cells to make ATP.

Besides producing cholesterol and bile, what is another function of the liver?
Remove toxins from blood

Provide an example of how exercise disrupts homeostasis in the body and how the body responds to restore homeostasis.
Temp increases --> Sweat --> Cool down Oxygen used up --> increase breaking and HR --> restore oxygen

What is the function of the heart?
To pump blood throughout the body.
400
Why must a heart connect to the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava (large veins)?
To remove carbon dioxide from blood stream.
400
Why must a heart be able to function at different speeds when a person is exercising and is at rest?
To maintain homeostasis. Your body needs more oxygen during exercise, so your heart needs to pump at a higher speed.
500
Why does the heart need to be connected to the pulmonary artery (artery connected to the lungs)?
To receive oxygen
