- Hemoglobin's Affinity for Oxygen What is the effect of the following changes on the O affinity of hemoglobin? (a) A drop in the pH of blood plasma from 7.4 to 7.2. (b) A decrease in the partial pressure of CO₂ in the lungs from 6kPa (holding one's breath) to 2kPa (normal). (c) An increase in the BPG level from 5mm (normal altitudes) to 8mm (high altitudes). (d) An increase in CO from 1.0 part per million (ppm) in a normal indoor atmosphere to 30ppm in a home that has a malfunctioning or leaking furnace.arrow_forwardWrite the chemical reaction for the conversion of CO2 to HCO3-, including the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction.arrow_forwardThere are many organic acids and bases in our cells, and their presence modifies the pH of the fluids inside them. It is useful to be able to assess the pH of solutions of acids and bases and to make inferences from measured values of the pH. A solution of equal concentrations of lactic acid and sodium lactate was found to have pH= 3.08. (a) What are the values of pKa and Ka of lactic acid? (b) What would the pH be if the acid had twice the concentration of the salt?arrow_forward
- When the terminal phosphate is cleaved from the ADP molecule, the products are adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate: ATP + H2O ––> ADP + Pi where Pi stands for the various forms of phosphate that exist at the pH of the particular solution. If the total concentration of Pi is 2.5 x 10–2 M, what are the concentrations of the predominant forms of phosphate that exist at pH 7.4?arrow_forward(8) Answer each of the following questions: (a) Ka for HNO2 is 4.6 x 10-4. What is the Kb for its conjugate base ? (b) Calculate the pH of 0.1 M of HNO2 solution using the ka above.arrow_forwardCalculate the ratio of dihydrogen phosphate to hydrogen phosphate in blood at pH 7.4. The Ka is 6.3 × 10−8.arrow_forward
- If Phenolphthalein was added to H2O (l) + CO2 (g) → H2CO3 (aq) what color would the solution be?arrow_forward(a) Draw the structure of an estrogen and an androgen. (b) What structural features are similar in the two steroids? (c) What structural features are different? (d) Describe the biological activity of each steroid.arrow_forward(a) Ionic Solids do not dissolve in non-polar solvents. (TRUE OR FALSE) (b) H3AsO4 is a weak acid. (TRUE OR FALSE) (c) Once a chemical reaction has come to equilibrium, the reaction comes to a complete halt.(TRUE OR FALSE)arrow_forward
- Write the expression Kc for the following reactions. (a) Fe2+(aq) + Ce4+(aq) ⇋ Fe3+(aq) + Ce3+(aq) (b) CaCO3(s) ⇋ CaO(s) + CO3(g)arrow_forwardKidney stones are crystals of calcium oxalate that form in the kidney, ureter, or bladder. Small kidney stones are passed out of the body easily, but larger kidney stones may block the ureter causing severe pain. If the [Ca2+] in blood plasma is 5 × 10-3 M, what [C2O42-] must be present to form a kidney stone? (Calcium oxalate Ksp = 2.3 x 10-9)arrow_forward年一年 phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM) H-C-OPO; H-- OH H-S-OPO; H-C- OH H H 3-Phosphoglycerate (3PG) 2-Phosphoglycerate (2PG) Does the oxidation number change for the carbon atom to which the phosphate is attached? (i.e., does C3 in 3PG have a different oxidation number than C2 in 2PG?) If so, does it become higher or lower? Oxidation number decreases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3 has an oxidation number of 0; carbon 2 has an ox. number of +1. There is no change in the oxidation number, both atoms have oxidation number of -1. Oxidation number increases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3 has an oxidation number of 0; carbon 2 has an ox. number of +1. Oxidation number decreases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3 has an oxidation number of -1; carbon 2 has an ox. number of 0. There is no change in the oxidation number, both atoms have oxidation number of 0. O Oxidation number increases when the phosphate is moved from C3 to C2. Carbon 3…arrow_forward
