The percentage of hemoglobin that will be saturated when the PO2 is 20 mmHg is 20%.

<h3>Why is it beneficial for the hemoglobin near these tissues to NOT pick up oxygen?</h3>

It is recommended that the tissues do not absorb oxygen at this point because the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen will be low since the medium will be acid due to the amount of hydrogen ions and carbon dioxide, situation that occurs in tissues where oxygen is metabolized quickly. Therefore, then there will be no absorption of oxygen from these tissues, but rather it will occur in oxygenated tissues such as the lungs. This is an effect called the 'Bohr effect' and allows oxygen to be released where it is most needed.

And the percentage of oxygen saturation will be 20% according to the hemoglobin saturation curve.

What are the sources of energy for the processes that affect Earth?​
marissa [1.9K]

Answer: ok so Most of the energy in the Earth system comes from just a few sources: solar energy, gravity, radioactive decay, and the rotation of the Earth. Solar energy drives many surface processes such as winds, currents, the hydrologic cycle, and the overall climate system. Gravity makes rivers and other materials flow downhill and creates tides (from the Moon's gravitational pull). Radioactive decay creates heat in the Earth's interior, while Earth's rotational forces influence currents of air and water.

What kind of mixture is a solution a suspension? a colloid?
Sever21 [200]
Mixtures are combinations of several substances. Each of the substances retains its physical properties. There are no new substances created. This is in contrast to a chemical reaction in which two or more reactants make new products.

There are two types of mixtures. The first kind of mixture is a homogenous mixture. Homogenous mixtures are uniform in the ratio of the combination of substances. throughout. All solutions are homogenous mixtures. Colloids (such as mile) and suspensions are also homogenous mixtures, but their particle sizes are larger than the particles that make up a solution. This larger particle size makes colloids and suspensions appear murky or opaque.

The second kind of mixture is a heterogeneous mixture. Heterogeneous mixtures are not uniform throughout. A classic example of a heterogeneous mixture is a trail mix- every handful you grab will be slightly different. If a suspension is allowed to sit, then its large particles will settle to the bottom of its container. At this point, the suspension would be classified as a heterogenous mixture.

A __________ is the amount of light given off by a light source from a certain angle that is perceived by the human eye.
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Lumen

Explanation:

Luminous flux is known as the power of light perceived by the eye. The SI unit of luminous flux is known as lumen where one lumen is the amount of luminous flux emitted from a directional unit point source through a unit solid angle.

Since the human eye can see only the visible spectrum of light which is perceived in the form of luminous flux and thus lumen.

Thus, the lumen is the correct answer.
