    The key takeaways are that exercise increases both breathing and heart rate to supply more oxygen to working muscles. The major organs involved in breathing are the lungs, ribcage and diaphragm. Muscles contract and relax in pairs to move bones at joints in multiple directions.

    When exercising, the breathing rate increases (becomes faster or deeper) to supply more oxygen to working muscles. The heart rate also increases to pump more blood carrying oxygen to the muscles.

    The major organs involved in breathing are the lungs, which supply oxygen to the blood and remove carbon dioxide. The ribcage supports the lungs and allows them to expand during inhalation. The diaphragm is a muscle that contracts and flattens during inhalation, helping draw air into the lungs.

    6 Some scientists carried out an investigation into how a drug called Longmasterol changed the
    reaction time in people of different ages. A graph of their results is shown below.

    a Suggest a question that the scientists may have asked before starting this investigation.
    Will the reaction time be greater or lesser than without the drug or with it?

    [1 mark]

    b Describe the effect of Longmasterol on reaction time.


    It made the reaction time quicker

    [1 mark]

    c Suggest the name of another drug that would have a similar effect.
