Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, convergent evolution.

Explanation:

The convergent evolution in evolutionary biology refers to the phenomenon in which the organisms that are not closely associated, that is, not monophyletic, autonomously evolve identical characteristics as a consequence of having to amend to ecological niches or identical surroundings.  

For example, the evolution of lungs and gills that serves similar functions in distant organisms is an illustration of convergent evolution.

Think about the cells in your lungs. What do they have to be able to do to function?
cupoosta [38]

To line the airways and make mucus, which lubricates and protects the lung

There are numerous different cell types in the lungs. Epithelial cells make up the majority of lung cells. Mucus is produced by epithelial cells that line the airways and coat and shield the lung. Additionally, the lung cells contain blood, nerve, hormone-producing, and structural or supporting cells.

Air enters your lungs when you inhale (breath), and the oxygen in that air travels to your blood. A waste gas called carbon dioxide travels from your blood to your lungs at the same time and is exhaled (breathed out). Gas exchange is a procedure that is vital to life.

the bronchiolar epithelial cells, also known as airway cells, which are bordered with smooth muscle, and the alveolar epithelial cells, which make up the tiny sacs where gas exchange occurs

A cell is in a solution that contains dissolved oxygen as the cell used oxygen for respiration
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

<u><em> oxygen in the solution will naturally diffuse into the cell.</em></u>

Explanation:

Cells require oxygen for cellular respiration to occur. When a cell is places in a solution having oxygen dissolved in it, The concentration of the oxygen outside the cell will be more as compared to the concentration of oxygen inside the cell. As a result, the cell will take up oxygen by the process of diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a higher concentration to a lower concentration along a concentration gradient.
