- In the absence of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, the binding of oxygen by hemoglobin: a. is characterized by cooperativity b. resembles that of myoglobin c. binds at the end of the hemoglobin molecule d. is stabilized as the deoxy conformation of hemoglobin for the release into capillariesarrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about the proximal histidine of hemoglobin? A. It forms a hydrogen bond with bound oxygen. B. It is bonded to the Fe2+ atom coordinated by heme C. It binds oxygen D. It is not consumed in myoglobinarrow_forwardWhich of the following is incorrect about 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG)? It is highly (-) charged b. It prevents binding of O₂ to hemoglobin Oc. It binds only to the relaxed (oxy) conformation of hemoglobin Od. It binds in the space between the four subunits of hemoglobin a.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is true about hemoglobin? a.hemoglobin b. Each hemoglobin molecule is made up of one alpha and one beta chain polypeptide. C. All that is needed to bind oxygen is a molecule of heme. D. Each hemoglobin molecule can carry four oxygen molecules.arrow_forwardMatch the Law/Effect with its definition/description A. Boyle’s Law B. Henry’s Law C. Dalton’s Law D. Haldane Effect E. Bohr Effect 1. The pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume 2. A lower, more acidic pH promotes oxygen dissociation from hemoglobin 3. Hemoglobin saturated with oxygen has a low affinity for carbon dioxide 4. The concentration of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the solubility and partial pressure of that gas 5. The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of the gases in the mixturearrow_forwardThe first thing that happens when O2 binds to Hemoglobin (Hb) is that: a Hb shifts to the Relaxed state. b Tension on Heme causes a hydrogen bond to break. c The pH of the bloodstream increases. d BPG binding increases.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is incorrect? a. Hemoglobin transports oxygen through the blood from the lungs to the tissues Ob. None; all the other choices are correct c. Hemoglobin transports H+ through the blood from the tissues to the lungs O d. Lower pH increases hemoglobin's O₂-binding affinityarrow_forwardWrite the reversible equation that shows the reaction of hemoglobin (Hb) with: A. Oxygen B. Carbon dioxidearrow_forwardA The following plots show an oxygen binding curve for hemoglobin under a certain set of conditions. For each plot, sketch (with reasonable accuracy) a second curve showing how the binding oxygen to hemoglobin would be altered by the change in conditions noted. 2. a. Increase in pCO2 b. Dissociation of native Hb into aß dimers 1 0.8 0.8 0.6 Y 0.4 0.6 Y 0.4 0.2 0.2 poz pO2arrow_forward
- Which of the following is true about the T (tense) -->R (relaxed) transition of hemoglobin? A. The T state of hemoglobin binds oxygen with a higher affinity than the R state. B. The binding of O2 to a subunit T state can cause the transition of other subunits to the R state. C. The T state has a narrower pocket between b subunits than does the R state. D. When hemoglobin undergoes the T--> R transition, the structures of the individual subunits change dramatically.arrow_forwardAll of the following are accurate statements about hemoglobin except a. hemoglobin carries oxygen on the Fe ion. b. hemoglobin carries carbon dioxide on the globin. c. hemoglobin carries only a small portion of the total carbon dioxide in the blood (less than 25%). d. hemoglobin releases oxygen at the level of the cell, making hemoglobin more saturated.arrow_forwardd) Determine which statements apply to hemoglobin, myoglobin, or neither (you can write in the corresponding numbers for each statement, as appropriate) Hemoglobin Myoglobin Neither 1. Oxygen binds irreversibly to this molecule.2. This molecule has greater affinity for oxygen.3. The oxygen dissociation curve is sigmoidal in shape.4. Carbon monoxide binds at an allosteric site, lowering oxygen binding affinity.5. The binding pattern for this molecule is considered cooperative.6. This molecule delivers oxygen more efficiently to tissues.7. As oxygen binds to this molecule, the shape of the molecule changes, enhancing further oxygen binding.8. The oxygen dissociation curve is hyperbolic in shape.arrow_forward
