The value of n, the Hill coefficient, for hemoglobin is about 2 to 3 times as great as the value for myoglobin.

Hill Equation

The two closely related equations that help to explain the binding of macromolecules to ligands are called the Hill equation. It helps to quantify the interaction between various ligand binding sites.

Hill coefficient

It is used to describe the cooperativity of ligand binding. It can be positive and negative depending on the value of the Hill coefficient. If the value of the Hill coefficient is more than one then it exhibits positively cooperative binding and if it is less than one then it exhibits negatively cooperative binding. Then there is the noncooperative binding where the Hill coefficient value is one. As for the hemoglobin and myoglobin, the values are,

Hill coefficient of hemoglobin is 2.7 - 3.
Hill coefficient of myoglobin is 1.0.

Thus hemoglobin is positively cooperative and myoglobin exhibits noncooperative binding.

2a) Which of the following statements about pyruvate oxidation IS TRUE?

Darina [25.2K]

The true statements are:

Substrate level phosphorylation ocvurs during Pyruvate oxidation
32 ATP molecules can be made by cellular respiration but only 2 ATP molecules when oxygen is lacking
Electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity in the electron transport chain
ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria during oxidative phosphorylation
ATP inhibits pyruvate dehydrogenase by feedback inhibition

<h3>What is glucose oxidation?</h3>

Glucose oxidation refers to the process in the cells in which glucose molecules are oxidized to form ATP and carbon dioxide in the presence of oxygen.

The first stage of glucose oxidation is the conversion to pyruvate.

Pyruvate is oxidized to acetylCoA.

AcetylCoA enters the citric acid cycle to produce reducing equivalents, NADH for the electron transport chain.

The true statements about pyruvate oxidation is that there is substrate level phosphorylation during the process
When there is sufficient oxygen, 36 ATP molecules can be made (theoretically) by cellular respiration. However, when oxygen is lacking, only 2 ATP molecules are made.
In the electron transport chain of cellular respiration, electrons move from protein to protein due to increasing electronegativity
During oxidative phosphorylation, ADP is phosphorylated in the matrix of the mitochondria
Aerobic respiration can be regulated by feedback inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase by ATP.
