Question 13
F

Four students describe why breathing rate and heart rate increase during exercise. Which explanation contains the necessary linked reasoning?

[1]
A

More glucose enters the lungs, so the lungs pump oxygenated blood to muscle cells

B

More oxygen reaches muscle cells, so aerobic respiration can transfer energy faster

C

More lactic acid reaches muscle cells, so anaerobic respiration can stop immediately

D

More carbon dioxide reaches muscle cells, so glucose can be completely oxidised
