Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 1AWK
Your roommate says that the concept of homeostasis is being violated when the rate of respiration goes up during exercise, because the rate of respiration clearly is not being held constant. Explain to him where his thinking is faulty.

Students have asked these similar questions
One consequence of oxygen deprivation is decreased production of ATP. Would you expect this to have a greater effect on smooth or cardiac muscle tissue? Explain
Would the respiration rate be different for a person who had just exercised instead of sitting in the lab?
a. No, the respiration rate would be the same.
b. Yes, the respiration rate would be slower because the exercise slows respiration and oxygen uptake.
c. Yes, the respiration rate would be faster since the person needed more oxygen while exercising.
Carbon dioxide is produced during aerobic respiration of animals but is not completely removed from the body. What then is its role in homeostasis?
