True or false? the driving force for the unloading of oxygen from hemoglobin into tissues is the difference in pco2 levels betwe

Answer:

False. The driving for is the partial pressure gradient of O2 (PO2 difference), not the PCO2 gradient.

However, keep in mind that an increase in PCO2 can facilitate the unbinding of oxygen from hemoglobin. This is due to a decrease in pH associated with PCO2 increase. The H+ ions bind to hemoglobin and decrease it's affinity for oxygen, this is called the bohr effect. But the PCO2 is not the main driving force of oxygen unbinding.

Water-storing plants and deeply rooted shrubs are plants that characterize?
Nady [450]

Desert vegetation or xerophytes includes bushes with deep roots and plants that store water.

Another name for desert plant:

A plant species known as a xerophyte has evolved to live in environments with little fluid water, like a desert or an area surrounded by ice or frost in the Mountains or the Polar regions. Cacti, pineapples, and various Gymnosperm species are a few well-known instances of xerophytes.

  • Xerophytes have different adaptations to their morphological characters (morphology) and basic physiological functions (physiology) that allow them to store significant amounts of water and save it during dry seasons. During prolonged periods of severe dehydration or evaporation of their organs, some creatures can live, and at those times, their biochemical function may cease. Xeromorphic flora has such biological and morphological modifications.
