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.

what would you if cell membrane became impermeable instead of selectively permeable could cell remain alive
natali 33 [55]
If a cell membrane became impermeable, instead of selectively permeable, the cell would not remain alive, though certain organisms would be able to stay alive longer than others. This is because the cell membrane allows essential molecules and substances such as oxygen into the cell, while allowing harmful substances, like waste, out of the cell.
