This is the task sheet that I was given, not sure how much help it will be.

Level 3 Certificate in Applied Science – Unit 2 Rate of Respiration

1.

Scientific background information on the rate of respiration.

P1 – Outline the physiological measurements used to measure rate of respiration

β€’

Describe respiration

β€’

Describe how respiration can be measured simply (what do you need to measure to calculate respiration rate in all organisms?)

β€’

Describe a respirometer

β€’

Physiological measurements can be taken to see how well the body is functioning:

β€’

Describe how to calculate rate of respiration in humans using peak flow, lung capacity and blood pressure

β€’

Include normal values

β€’

What does deviation from the normal values indicate

β€’

How do sports physiologists use these values?



M1 – Explain the scientific principles of physiological measurements

β€’

Make clear distinction between respiration and breathing

β€’

Explain how the rate of respiration can be calculated

β€’

Explain how the following factors affect the rate of respiration: temperature, concentration of glucose, pH levels and ethical treatment of organisms

β€’
