Answer:hemoglobin that has a high affinity for oxygen

Explanation:

Haemoglobin is the oxygen carrying pigment in blood. It performs this function because of the presence of iron at the center of the haemoglobin which coordinates reversibly with oxygen thereby aiding delivery of oxygen to cells. At high altitudes where air is thinner and the partial pressure of oxygen is lower than sea level, haemoglobin must develop a greater affinity for oxygen in order to carry the scarce oxygen to cells.

Which of the following statements about enthalpy is true?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:    A chemical process must occur and then changes between the state of the reactants and the state of the products can be determined

Explanation:  Enthalpy represents the sum of the energy of the system with the product of the pressure and volume of that system. As a thermodynamic property, it expresses the ability to release heat from the system. In fact, enthalpy  tells us how much heat and work has changed during the chemical reaction under constant pressure. When measuring, measurements of the difference in enthalpy between the two states of the system is performed, before and after the chemical reaction, since total enthalpy can not be measured. This measurement of the enthalpy change can tell us, for example, whether the heat was released from the system during the reaction, or the system absorbed the heat.
