RESPIRATION - aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration in plants, fungi and animals - oxygen debt & build-up of lactic acid

Doc Brown's biology exam revision study notes:  Some of these revision notes on aerobic respiration in animals and plants, anaerobic respiration in animals and yeasts,  including experiment investigations into respiration.

Sub-index for notes on respiration
