Even though there are no choices given in this particular question, the principle of osmosis is very easy to understand. 

When we talk about osmosis, we are referring to the movement of water from a low concentration to a higher concentration. This is different from diffusion, which talks specifically about the movement of <em>solutes</em> in the solution (from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.)

When an RBC is placed inside a <em>hypertonic </em>solution, the water inside the RBC will go out thereby shrinking the RBC.

Inside an <em>isotonic</em> solution, the RBC will remain the same because the concentrations are equal.

Inside a <em>hypotonic</em> solution, the RBC will lyse or explode because water will move from the solution going inside the RBC.

Nitella [24]

Answer: The additional protection in the body of aerobic organisms are that they can fight with the ROS radicle formed in the body.

Explanation:

The aerobic organism use oxygen as a final electron acceptor. The aerobic organisms have enzymes in the body which helps in getting from the reactive oxygen species. These enzymes are superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase.

Anaerobes are vulnerable to these ROS which is produced by their own metabolism. They do not contain the enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and catalase that can help them to survive in these conditions.

Hence, because of antioxidants the aerobic organism can survive in oxygen and anaerobes cannot.
