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.
