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.

Answer: Eating a diet high in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol has been linked to heart disease and related conditions, such as atherosclerosis. Also too much salt (sodium) in the diet can raise blood pressure. Not getting enough physical activity can lead to heart disease.

Explanation: Diet is an important risk factor in coronary heart disease. Heavy drinking may well increase heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and high blood pressure. A limit for men is 2 drinks a day, for women 1 drink a day.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

α = 0 if β= 0

Explanation:

If both species want to persist in the same environment and their niches are also over lapping then both of the co-efficient values should be equal. There are two possibilities on these values for persistence. One is that one should compromise to the change produced by the invasive specie and two is that the new specie should compromise if he wants to stay (<em><u>Assuming that there is no competition</u></em>). In this way their niches won't overlap to a greater extent and therefore better chances of survival for both.
