- In mammals, the developing fetus obtains O₂ from its mother's blood via the placenta. For this to occur... A. The fetal hemoglobin must have a higher Pso than the maternal hemoglobin B. The O₂ equilibrium curve of the fetal hemoglobin must be left-shifted with respect to the curve for the maternal hemoglobin C. The maternal hemoglobin must have a higher O₂ binding affinity than the fetal hemoglobin D. The O₂ carrying capacity of the fetal hemoglobin must be greater than that of the maternal hemoglobin E. None of the abovearrow_forward13 5. Based on what you have learned in this chapter and lab, answer the following question: A 0.9% NaCl solution is isotonic to red blood cells (RBC), it is often called physiological saline. This is often found in IV bags given to patients. What would happen to the red blood cells of a patient if the pharmacist accidentally created a 9% NaCI saline solution? Your answer should use the tonicity vocabulary and a description of what happens to the RBC. 4 Effects of solute concentration on potato core massarrow_forwardThe primary and tertiary structures of hemoglobin and myoglobin are very similar and both contain the 'heme' group as an oxygen-binding prosthetic group. However this There are important functional differences between the two proteins. Hemoglobin oxygen transport protein, myoglobin functions as oxygen storage protein.
