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.

Which features of Mt. Lico isolate the forest on the mountain from the surrounding area?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: See explanation below for answer.

Explanation: Mount Lico is an inselberg, meaning that it is an isolated mountain that rises abruptly from the surrounding plain. At the top of the mountain is a forest that lacks exploration and exploitation by humans.

The mountain is located the Zambezia province in northern Mozambique. It is 1,100 meters or 3,600 feet above sea level, and this is the major reason why it lacks exploitation by humans.

The features of Mount Lico that isolate the forest on top the mountain from the surrounding area are its height and sheer rock walls (which can be up to 700 meters).
