Calculate the oxygen consumption for a 20 min exercise bout and determine the total number of kilocalories. You must show your work to receive full credit. Ventilation = 45 L/min Inspired oxygen = 20.93% Expired oxygen = 15.93%
Added by Kelly S.
Step 1
Inspired oxygen = 20.93% Expired oxygen = 15.93% Difference = 20.93% - 15.93% = 5.00% Convert 5.00% to a decimal = 0.05 Show more…

A student uses spirometry to determine the tidal volume and breathing rate, as well as gas sensors to measure the O2 and CO2 content in expired air before and after exercise: Tidal Volume Breathing Rate O2 exhaled CO2 exhaled Rest 4 L/min 40 breaths/min Exercise 6 L/min 50 breaths/min Assuming that (inhaled) air is composed of 20% oxygen and 0.04% CO2, how much oxygen was consumed and how much CO2 was produced at rest and after exercise? O2 consumed at rest: O2 consumed after exercise: CO2 produced at rest: CO2 produced after exercise:
