Solution

failed
failed

The answer is b) All options.

Explanation for each option:

a) Oxygen consumption: This is a direct measure of cellular respiration. As exercise increases, the demand for oxygen in cells rises to produce more ATP through aerobic respiration. Measuring oxygen consumption can indicate the rate of cellular respiration.

c) Blood glucose concentration: Exercise affects glucose metabolism. During exercise, muscles use glucose for energy, which can alter blood glucose levels. Monitoring these levels can provide insights into how exercise impacts cellular respiration and energy utilization.

d) Blood lactic acid concentration: During intense exercise, when oxygen supply is insufficient for aerobic respiration, cells switch to anaerobic respiration, producing lactic acid. Measuring lactic acid concentration can indicate the extent of anaerobic respiration occurring due to exercise.

Since all these parameters can provide valuable information about the effect of exercise on cellular respiration, the correct choice is b) All options.
