Question

Many biological gases like O2 and CO, non-polar, hence, insoluble in aqueous medium. How are they transported within the living matter (cells)? 8. Define the principle (thermodynamic) behind hydrophobic effects in terms of entropy. Give biological examples of common hydrophobic interactions. 9.

Answer 1

8 .These gases are transported in the living cells by the special protein structures called haemoglobin and myoglobin present in the blood cells and muscles respectively .
