Question

1. which of the following does an individual with a greater tidal volume per minute have?

decreased breathing rate for a shorter period of time
increased breathing rate for longer period of time
decreased breathing rate for a longer period of time
increased breathing rate for a shorter period of time

Explanation:

Tidal volume per minute (minute ventilation) is tidal volume × breathing rate. A greater minute ventilation can occur with a higher tidal volume, allowing the body to meet oxygen demands with fewer breaths (decreased rate) over an extended time, as deeper breaths efficiently exchange gases. This makes a decreased breathing rate for a longer period the correct outcome.

Answer:

decreased breathing rate for a longer period of time
