unt of oxygen found in the atmosphereb) a graphical representation of the relationship between hemoglobin's percent saturation and the partial pressure of oxygenc) a graphical representation of the amount of hemoglobin found in the bloodd) a graphical representation of the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin and how that affects the partial pressure of O2 in the blood

Answer:

b) a graphical representation of the relationship between hemoglobin's percent saturation and the partial pressure of oxygen

Explanation:

On vertical axis-hemoglobin's oxygen saturation

On horizontal axis-oxygen partial pressure

This curve determines hemoglobin affinity for oxygen. If hemoglobin has high oxygen saturation, hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen is high.

As the blood moves through the systemic capillary, hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen decreases, so that oxygen can be released into the cells.

Which of the following best describes an aspect of a membrane's molecular structure that causes it to be selectively permeable?
atroni [7]

Answer:

<u>d. Transport proteins within the membrane serve as a tunnel for molecules to enter the cell. </u>

<u />

Explanation:

Solutes are typically moved across the cell through either passive or active transport. The cells, surrounded by a bilipid layer or plasma membrane is amphiphlic- its polar, hydrophilic lipid heads face outwards, while their non-polar hydrophobic lipid tails face inwards towards each other.

While lipid-soluble molecules move across the layer easily, it is also difficult for charged and also large molecules to move across its surface, into the cell. Transmembrane channels, <u>embedded within the membrane</u>, help to maintain selective permeability as transport proteins, pores and gated channels. Simple diffusion happens as a method of passive transport in cells through plasma membranes.

The solutes travel through the plasma membrane in the process of diffusion from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration; this occurs without the use of energy. <u>Molecules moving against their concentration require active transport mechanism to cross the membrane</u>.

What happens to excess carbohydrates in animals?
Neporo4naja [7]
<span>Excess carbohydrates in Animals are stored as fats. It mainly gets stored in the skeletal muscles and liver in the form of glycogen. Carbohydrates actually get stored in the form of long polymers of glucose molecules or as glycogen starch. They provide energy to the animals for performing their daily duties. Carbohydrates are generally considered the fuel for all organisms, and without this most animals would become sloth and would be unable to perform the regular jobs. Carbohydrates are actually very easy to metabolise and hence generate quick energy. </span>
