Glucose is used to transport oxygen in the blood.

d)

Glucose is a waste product of respiration.

9.

How does the body respond to increased physical activity in terms of respiration?

a)

The body increases respiration rate and depth to meet oxygen demands and remove carbon dioxide.

b)

The body only increases heart rate without affecting respiration.

c)
