Summary Introduction

Introduction: The exchange of gases is the process of transport of oxygen to the tissues from the lungs and the removal of carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. The oxygen is transported by the protein hemoglobin present in the RBC cells of the blood. The transport of gases occurs between the alveoli of the lungs and the capillaries present in the walls of the alveoli. When one oxygen molecule gets transported to the blood simultaneously one carbon dioxide molecule blows out of the lungs.

Which statement is true for the heme group present myoglobin:     a. Oxygen binding to heme group is influenced by serine residues within proteins’ sequences.     b. Oxygen binding to heme can become irreversible as a result of interaction with certain protein residues.     c. Oxygen reversibly binds to the heme prostetic group and this binding is influenced by histidine residues within the myoglobin sequence.     d. The heme group dissociates from Mb after oxygen is released.
The graph below shows the O₂-binding curves for myoglobin (Mb) and hemoglobin (Hb). a. 100 80 60 40 20 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 pO₂ (torr) a. Use the graph to determine the Kd of myoglobin for O₂ (show your approach). Write that in the provided space. b. What is the difference between myoglobin and hemoglobin that cause the O₂- binding curves to so be different? Answer in the provided space. c. Why is it important that hemoglobin has these particular O₂-binding characteristics? Answer in the provided space. YO₂
Why is the decreased affinity of fetal hemoglobin for BPG advantageous? With fewer BPG molecules bound to heme, there are more heme residues available for O2 binding. O A. B. Decreased BPG binding biases the fetal hemoglobin toward the R state. C. More free BPG is available to bind to adult hemoglobin, resulting in a shift to the R state. BPG is more available to bind to fetal myoglobin. helping to release O2 in fetal muscle tissue. D. 47
