Detailed explanation-1: -Resistance from air passages – increased resistance (e.g. in asthma) prevents as much air entering the lungs during each cycle. The demand for oxygen will then increase, increasing the respiration rate. Fever – fever increases the body’s demand for oxygen, increasing the respiration rate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rate of respiration depends on several factors such as temperature, oxygen, carbon dioxide, salts, water, hormones, light, inhibitors, age, injury/disease, etc. Increase in temperature increases the rate of respiration. Rate of respiration increases with increase in oxygen concentration.
