In carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, CO binds to the heme of hemoglobin much tighter than oxygen (O2). What effect will this have on the ability of the tissues to get oxygen?
Group of answer choices
There will be no effect.
CO will deliver oxygen to the tissues.
Hemoglobin will bind more O2 and deliver more oxygen to the tissues.
More hemoglobin will be produced to deliver oxygen to the tissues.
Hemoglobin will bind less O2 and deliver less oxygen to the tissues.
73) The Haldane Effect says that it is easier for CO2 to bind to hemoglobin once oxygen has dissociated from the heme group.
Group of answer choices
True
False

- In the text, we learned that BPG is abundantly present in erythrocytes to greatly reduce the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. When 2,3-BPG binds to deoxyhemoglobin, it acts to stabilize the low oxygen affinity state (T state) of the oxygen carrier. What would happen to hemoglobin if the BPG were removed? Would our body still be able to efficiently deliver oxygen to the tissues?arrow_forwardDescribe how the cooperative binding of hemoglobin allows for optimal oxygen delivery.arrow_forwardThe following graph shows partial saturation (Y) of myoglobin (Mb), adult hemoglobin (HbA) and fetal hemoglobin (HbF) as a function of partial oxygen pressure (in mmHg). Use it to answer the question: Fetal hemoglobin ( biological function: HbF) demonstrates lower p50 than adult hemoglobin (HbA). This adaptation has the following A. Allow fetal hemoglobin form pentamer subunits. B. HbF has lower affinity for for O2 compared to adult Hb C. Allow fetal hemoglobin to effectively intercept oxygen from mother's hemoglobin. D. Allow fetal hemoglobin to replace myoglobin in musclesarrow_forward
- helparrow_forwardSuppose you visit the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India (elevation 1460 m), and you begin to ponder the “big questions,” such as “What is the fractional saturation of the Dalai Lama’s hemoglobin?” a) Assuming the Dalai Lama’s hemoglobin has a Hill coefficient = 3.2, and a P50 = 31 mmHg, calculate the change in fractional O2 saturation of his hemoglobin going from his lungs (where PO2 = 85 mmHg) to his capillaries (where PO2 = 25 mmHg). b) Why do you suppose the Dalai Lama’s hemoglobin has a P50 higher than normal (where “normal” = 27 mmHg)?arrow_forwardWhat do you think happens if you block oxygen from coming into the body and prevent carbon dioxide from leaving in the tracheal system of an insect?arrow_forward
