I'm not quite sure how it would ENHANCE oxygen transfer, but hemoglobin itself is what is in blood and is responsible for the carrying of oxygen to different parts of the body. So the hemoglobin in a fetus would just be what is used to get the oxygen from the mothers blood into its blood.
Oxygen is attached to the red blood cells.

the proteins that protrude from both surfaces of the bilayer
When air is inspired, it goes into the lungs, spreads across the alveoli which are like air sacs, and increases the oxygen content in the blood (through capillaries) with the help of hemoglobin. At the same time, carbon dioxide is being transferred into the alveoli by the capillaries used to transfer blood. The oxygen rich blood is sent through the pulmonary vein into the right side of the heart where it is transferred to the rest of the body. Meanwhile, the carbon dioxide that had been collected by the air sacs in the lungs is expired.
Yes, passive transfer would fit that description. Or, some particles would just defuse across and water would cross by osmosis.
The Nusselt number is the ratio of convective to conductive heat transfer across the boundary layer. Nu=(hL)/k h is heat transfer coefficient L is the characteristic length k is the thermal conductivity
Drugs in the mother's bloodstream pass across the membrane of the placenta, and transfer to the unborn baby's blood by the umbilical cord, which connects the baby to the placenta.
this is the function of the placenta, the mothers blood flows through capillaries that run very close to capillaries filled with the fetus' blood and the gases diffuse across due to the higher oxygen affinity of fetal haemoglobin.
blood does not pass across the placenta
To my knowledge there is only one way. Across the placenta and into the foetus. Everything taken into mothers body will pass across the placenta, around the system of the foetus and even returning waste back across the placenta through the magic of Osmosis.

glucose
antibodies passed from the mother across the placenta
It is code for the position of the placenta in the womb. A placenta across the opening of the uterus and the baby is on top will need a cesearean section. a ultrasound will tell the doctor the positioning and will assist him/her in planning your delivery. good luck joymaker rn
Radiation.
Radiation
diffuse across the placental membranes into the mothers bloos.
It can be transmitted via airborne droplets, or by vertical transmission (across the placenta from mother to baby).
