How is its production linked to changes in metabolic rate, such as occur during exercise?

What will be an ideal response?


Exercise increases the level of CO2 in the body as well as decreases the level of oxygen. Rising levels of CO2 stimulate increases in the depth and rate of breathing, resulting in moving more CO2 out of the body and more oxygen (O2) into the body.
