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.

12. What is the tern for the pattern of inheritance in which many genes influence a trait? a. Polymorphic inheritance b. Polygen
allochka39001 [22]

Answer: Polygenic inheritance

Explanation:

Polygenic inheritance is a phenomenon shown by a trait that is controlled by many genes residing at different loci.

Thus, the expression of the trait is the total effect of all the genes controlling it. Skin colour and height in humans are examples of such traits.

Less than .1% of the energy in a food chain generally makes it from the sun to consumers
Elena-2011 [213]

This statement is true.

Reason:

Plants are capable of storing energy from the sun and with the help of that they produce their own food. And this energy is transformed to the animals as well as human being when they consume the food which was grown on the plants. But when they consume it they are only able to get 10% of the energy and the last consumers are able to get only about 1% of the energy.

Which is a correct way to paraphrase the following:
beks73 [17]

Answer:

The paraphrase consists in saying with simpler words and with less technical words those obtained from a text. In this way, it facilitates its understanding, because the original information extracted is expressed in a simpler way.

The correct way to paraphrase is 2.  Every organism must acquire and use energy to build new structures, repair old ones, and reproduce

Explanation:

That option is referring to nutrition, which is the process by which nutrients contained in food meet the needs of cells and allow the proper development of organs. For example, certain organs such as the liver, brain, heart and kidneys, in normal conditions account for 60-70% of total energy expenditure of the organism, to which we must add the energy used in the synthesis and in the new tissue formation
