Linking two paragraphs to the same topic for importance AQA A Level Biology Essay

This might be a bad example but if one paragraph was on the calvin cycle and another was on oxyhaemoglobin dissociation and for importance i related both to respiration, would that be okay as long as the justification is specific to the main topic?

Yeah should be fine as long as the content/science part of the paragraphs are different spec points, I've done the same in mock essays and it's always been okay
Just for a bit of variety with the importances, if I was writing about the dissociation curve I'd link that to respiration and what ATP is needed for, and for importance of Calvin cycle/photosynthesis I'd talk about uses of the organic molecules made in plants, such as the cellulose cell wall allowing cells to stay turgid + have high Ψ which allows photosynthesis to keep occurring and then possibly link that to resp if I have space/time
But as long as the main bulk of the paragraph is 2 different spec points, anything related to those paragraphs is okay to write about for importance :smile:
