At 8.4 torr myoglobin will be 75% saturated with oxygen.

Calculation :

P50 is the partial pressure of the system.To achieve 50% saturation of oxygen to bind to myoglobin , the partial pressure needed is P50

P50 =2.8 torr

so, Mb+ O2 = MbO2

K= [Mb] [O2]/[MbO2]......................(1)

Yo2 ( fractional saturation of myoglobin )

Yo2=[MbO2]/[Mb]+[MbO2]..........................(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

we get Yo2= [O2]/K+[O2]= Po2 /K+ Po2

i)Yo2= 50% =2.8/K+2.8

0.5= 2.8/k +2.8

So, K= 2.8

ii) 75 % = [O2]/K+[O2]= [O2]/2.8+ [O2] = 8.4

Therefore, the oxygen concentration will be 8.4 torr.

in humans glucose is kept in balance in the bloodstream by insulin which concept does this best illustrate
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Homeostasis

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the maintenance of a steady-state/condition in the body to ensure the optimal workings of the cells. Blood sugar level is one of the variables in the body that also has to be maintained through  positive and negative feedback loops to maintain the desired level. Insulin is the hormone used for negative feedback (to reduce the blood sugar level when it goes higher than the normal level) and Glucagon is the hormone for positive feedback (to raise the blood sugar level when it goes below the normal levels).

Tema [17]
Black squirrels may increase in a certain area due to natural selection because of the ground below it being dark so the squirrels would adapt to the terrain, making them harder to see by predators.
EXAMPLE: if a light fur colored squirrel is on a dark terrain, an Owl or Large bird could easily see the color differentiation and notice that it is a small land organism (prey).
So the squirrels kin would evolve in the sense that they would have darker fur to match their inhabitance
