<h2>a,d,b,c is the correct order</h2>

Explanation:

Before oxygen is picked up in the lungs by hemoglobin, it first diffuses through (a) alveolar cells,d) capillary walls (b) blood plasma, (c) red blood cell plasma membranes

  • Although oxygen dissolves in blood, only a small amount of oxygen is transported this way,1.5 percent of oxygen in the blood is dissolved directly into the blood itself and most oxygen—98.5 percent—is bound to a protein called hemoglobin and carried to the tissues
  • Hemoglobin  (Hb) is a protein molecule found in red blood cells (erythrocytes) made of four subunits: two alpha subunits and two beta subunits
  • Each subunit surrounds a central heme group that contains iron and binds one oxygen molecule, allowing each hemoglobin molecule to bind four oxygen molecules
  • Molecules with more oxygen bound to the heme groups are brighter red because of which oxygenated arterial blood where the Hb is carrying four oxygen molecules is bright red, while venous blood that is deoxygenated is darker red
  • At the same time, carbon dioxide that is dissolved in the blood comes out of the capillaries back into the air sacs, ready to be breathed out
  • Oxygenated blood travels from the lungs through the pulmonary veins and into the left side of the heart, which pumps the blood to the rest of the body
  • Oxygen-deficient, carbon dioxide-rich blood returns to the right side of the heart through two large veins, the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava
  • Then the blood is pumped through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide

Linked genes are genes that Select one: a. assort independently. b. segregate equally in the gametes during meiosis. c. always c
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

d. are found on the same chromosome

Explanation:

Linked genes are genes that <em>sit close together on the same chromosome,</em> this closeness makes higher the probability to inherit them together, meaning they won't follow Mendelian inheritance. Considering this information we can conclude that the correct answer is d. are found on the same chromosome.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Why is it that bacterial ribosomes can begin translation before mrna synthesis is completed, but eukaryotic ribosomes cannot?
KIM [24]
<span>Answer: Bacterial DNA is directly exposed to the cytoplasm, which has the ribosomes on which protein synthesis takes place. As the mRNA molecule proceeds for synthesis, ribosomes immediately attach to the free 6' end of the RNA transcript and begin translating it into protein.</span>
