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.

Solution A has twice as much solute as solution B is it possible for the solutions to have the same concentration
pishuonlain [190]
Yes. As long as the ratio of solute and solvent is same for both solution, the solution has the same concentration. for example, solution A has 2 ml of water, and 1 ml of sucrose. Solution B has 4ml of water and 2ml of sucrose. Both has a ratio of water to sucrose by 2 : 1. they have the same concentration of 50% sucrose.
