Question

after frida stops exercising, she continues to breathe heavily. what is most likely occurring in her body? heavy breathing during exercise has produced an oxygen surplus in her muscles. this oxygen is being transported to her lungs. this is a result of aerobic respiration. heavy breathing during exercise has produced a carbon dioxide surplus in her muscles. lactate is being transported to her liver. this is a result of aerobic respiration. strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in carbon dioxide debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. this is a result of anaerobic respiration. strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in oxygen debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. this is a result of anaerobic respiration.

Explanation:

During strenuous exercise, the body may not get enough oxygen for aerobic respiration and switches to anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration produces lactate. After exercise, the body needs to repay the oxygen debt (the extra oxygen needed to metabolize lactate). Heavy breathing helps take in more oxygen. The lactate is transported to the liver for further processing.

Answer:

Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in oxygen debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.
