Oxygen-hemoglobin curve dissociation curve: Which various factors can determine the amount of saturation? why is this curve so steep? how ph and temperature affect it? how does the binding of oxygen molecules in bohr and haldane effect affect the 3d shape of hemoglobin and how does that have to do with the curve?

- From your graph, estimate the P50 for normal hemoglobin and the mutant corresponding to your student number and explain if these results support your expectations regarding the mutant's oxygen affinity compared to normal hemoglobin. ف C Normal Yakima pO2 (torr) Yo2 Yo2 10 0.05 0.10 15 0.10 0.25 20 0.25 0.45 25 0.50 0.70 30 0.75 0.85 40 0.85 0.95 60 0.95 0.98 Harrow_forward(b) The diagram on the right compares O2-dissoci- ation curves for human hemoglobins characterized by dif- ferent p50 values. If Ko2 represents the equilibrium disso- ciation constant for oxygen binding, e.g., Hb(02)n Hb + nO₂ show the relationship between Ko2 and p50. Assign one of the curves (a, b, e) that best approxi- mates the Ko2 of each of the mutant hemoglobins in the table above including HbA where Ko2 represents the equi- librium dissociation constant for oxygen binding. If no curve is present for any of the mutant hemogobins, state the rea- son why the mutant is not represented. Indicate on the graph where its p50 would lie.

Those metabolically active tissues require the O2 that is brought by hemoglobin for the same process (cellular respiration). Explain why the effect of pH on hemoglobin’s affinity for oxygen is consistent with delivering it to actively metabolizing tissues. (Hint: think about what effect the presence of CO2 has on the tissues…)arrow_forward

- Please help me with 5 d)arrow_forwardThe effect of pressure on flow rate Set-up: For investigating the effect of pressure (height of a column of liquid), a 50-mL burette was used with a small length of rubber tubing fixed to the bottom on which a clamp could be fitted to start/stop the flow of water (Figure 1). Effluent was collected in a beaker and mean flow rate was calculated (mL/s), and a stopwatch was used to measure how long it took for 5 mL of liquid to flow out. For the subsequent sections of the practical, a 25-mL burette was used, and the top was connected via rubber tubing to a 5-liter reservoir placed on the shelving above the bench. The tubing at the base was connected to the different flow modules that comprised the different configurations of tubes to be tested. Interpret the graph. What does this relate to in the cardiovascular system, and is it something that can change? How?
