body reacts to the environment it is in so that it can adapt to maintain a constant internal balance aka maintain homeostasis. During exercise‚ many processes are adapted to make sure your internal balance is constant. Muscles need more oxygen to create the ATP required to sustain muscle movement and so the breathing rate increases to increase oxygen. The extra oxygen will return equilibrium to the body because the amount of oxygen now matches the amount that the cells need. Lack of oxygen will throw
