<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 number of ducks in a pond is equal to the square root of the number of fish, and the number of turtles is equal to the cube
brilliants [131]

Answer:

There are 64 fish, 8 ducks and 4 turtles.

Explanation:

From the question, there can be from 2 to 99 fish in the pond. However, there cannot be fractions in the number of fish, ducks or turtles. Hence, the number of fish must have both of a perfect square and perfect cube. The perfect squares from 2 to 99 are 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64 and 81. The perfect cubes from 2 to 99 are 8, 27 and 64. Since only 64 fits both criteria, the number of fish is 64. The number of ducks is the square root of number of fish, which is the square root of 64. The square root of 64 can be either positive 8 or negative 8. However, there cannot be negative numbers, so there are 8 ducks in total. The number of turtles is the cube root of the number of fish, which is the cube root of 64 and it is 4.
