<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

The observation from the first question would tend to disprove the idea that evolution is based on b. inheritance of acquired characteristics because according to the experiment  <span>theory of <span>adaptation was taken as a basis.
The answer for the next question is definitely adaptation as at first every live -being should get used to its environment in order to develop and so on.</span></span>
