Homework Answers
1. Answer: Option B
is correct
Explanation:
Hemoglobin is the carrier molecule of oxygen in the blood.
It is a heterotetramer composed of two alpha and two beta
chains.
It exhibits the cooperative binding of oxygen molecules.
i.e. it exhibits a sigmoidal oxygen binding curve
A sigmoidal curve is characterized by a lag-phase.

An effective respiratory carrier must be able to pick up oxygen from the lungs and deliver it to the peripheral tissues. Oxygen-binding curves for hypothetical oxygen-carrying proteins A and B are shown in the figure below. Saturation(y) po, po, In tissues In lungs Choose any and all of the below statements that are true. The oxygen-binding curve of an ideal carrier protein would be between curves A and B. Protein A is not a suitable carrier because its affinity for...

2. What fraction of oxygen bound in the lungs is released in peripheral tissues for each hemoglobin? Which hemoglobin is better at transporting oxygen? Assume that the lung pO2 = 100 torr and that the peripheral tissue pO2 is 20 torr. Based on the shape of the saturation curve shown above, describe the effect of the Asp99Asn substitution on the cooperativity of oxygen binding? Is the cooperatively positively or negatively impacted by this mutation? 3. 4. In normal deoxyhemoglobin (hemoglobin...

Oxygen-Proton Exchange in Hemoglobin 11.0 10.0 As shown in the graph, hemoglobin exchanges oxygen and protons due to an inverse relationship between oxygen binding and proton binding known as the Bohr effect. The binding of oxygen to hemoglobin causes a conformational change that disrupts salt bridges, making oxyhemoglobin more acidic than deoxyhemoglobin. For purposes of calculation, hemoglobin can be modeled as a simple monoprotic buffer, dissociating one proton per subunit as illustrated in the graph and equilibrium equations. Tissues -...
