What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

[swaine.]

aerobic respiration uses oxygen, where as anaerobic respiration doesn't. The body Mainly uses aerobic respiration and only resorts to anaerobic respiration when the demand for aerobic respiration is greater than the body can provide. During the process of anaerobic respiration the glucose is only partially broken down and lactic acid is also produced.

What is gas exchange?

[redtortoise]

The removal of co2 and intake of oxygen.

What is ATP synthisised from?

ADP.

What is the relationship between sickle cell anaemia and malaria?

Name a feature of a parasite which helps it to survive.

[Angelica.]

Give advantages and disadvantages of using pyramid of numbers and the pyramid of biomass.

[JLKeating]

(Original post by Angelica.)
Parasites such as Tapeworms are able to grip on to the gut wall/ intestines through the use of hooks, this enables them to absorb food.

Give advantages and disadvantages of using pyramid of numbers and the pyramid of biomass.

Pyramid of numbers accurately shows how many of each species is in a habitat but gives no indication of the biomass and so doesn't show the energy available to the next trophic level. A pyramid of numbers isn't always pyramid shaped. A pyramid of biomass shows how much food is available to the next level and is always pyramid shaped.
