Step 1
Diffusion is a type of passive transport where solute or gases move from a high area of concentration to a low concentration area, that is down the concentration gradient. This process does not require any energy.

Is this statement correct or incorrect? Explain. During strenuous exercise, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right. This rightward shift reflects an increase in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and favors loading of O2 onto hemoglobin in the lungs. 2. Is this statement correct or incorrect? Explain. Compared to hemoglobin, myoglobin has a lower binding affinity for O2 and a higher O2 binding capacity, two characteristics that allow myoglobin to efficiently provide skeletal muscle cells with a readily-accessible reservoir of O2.arrow_forward
