Investigating Two Aspects of Homeostasis Results: Time of exercise (min) Mass Of Cotton Wool (Gram) Mass of Sweat (Gram) Pulse Rate (Beats per minute) 0 0.52 0.01 50 5 0.535 0.265 60 6 0.59 0.37 65 7 0.60 0.6 70 8 0.51 0.71 95 Conclusion: In the experiment we compared the amount of sweat produced, to how many heart beat per minute that occurs before and after vigorous exercise. We found out that the more exercise we do the more we sweat and pulse rate increases. The graphs show us a strong positive correlation in both of the graphs. Aerobic Respiration happens when we do this experiment because when we do exercise we need energy, therefore the process completely brakes down, glucose molecules to release energy, water and carbon dioxide are release; Glucose + Oxygen Carbon Dioxide + Water + Heat energy, during aerobic respiration it increases your pulse rate and sweat production because the brain detects the lactic acid so it pumps blood round the body to remove it, causing the blood capillary to...
