Question

While the average human is able to hold his or her breath for approximately one minute, a whale can dive for over 30 minutes without retuning to the surface. Which of the following correctly describes this difference?
a) Whales are able to tolerate the products of cellular respiration better than humans.
b) Whales have a slower cellular respiration metabolism rate than humans.
c) Whales gather energy from their environment better than humans.
d) Whales need less energy than humans.
help plz i think its A

Answer 1

cellular respiration produces CO2, but it's intent is to produce energy by changing the organic elements. So a slower process of changing the O2 to CO2 would explain the discrepancy. I would say B

Answer 2
