Biconcave discs- to increase surface area for oxygen carriage Haemoglobin- increases affinity for oxygen uptake at the lungs. However, at the respiring tissues, the increased CO2 concentration allow relea...

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen/O2 while anaerobic respiration doesn't use oxygen.Aerobic respiration produces carbon dioxide/CO2 as a waste product while anaerobic respiration doesn't (it produces lactic...
