Q

Why does anaerobic respiration happen

A

During vigourous activities when muscles are working hard the blood system cannot bring glucose and oxygen quickly enough

Q

What is the function of a stomata

A

There are tiny holes pores down on the bottom surface of the leaf the function is to allow gases to diffuse into and out of the leaf carbon dioxide defuses in oxygen and water vapour defuse out
