The most important factor that determines the percent of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is
erik [133]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

a) The partial pressure of oxygen

b) Acidity

c) The partial pressure of carbon dioxide

d) Temperature

e) BPG

The correct answer is a. The most important factor that determines the percent of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is <u>The partial pressure of oxygen </u>.

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is an oxygen transport protein. Partial Oxygen Pressure (PaO2), measures the pressure of dissolved oxygen in the blood, that is, it shows how well oxygen passes from the lungs into the bloodstream. A high partial pressure of oxygen in the blood produces an almost complete saturation of hemoglobin, which indicates the maximum amount of oxygen that combines, but when PaO2 is reduced, so is hemoglobin saturation, when saturation is below 90% hypoxemia occurs, that is, the level below normal blood oxygen levels.

The cholesterol associated with animal cell membranes
bekas [8.4K]

Cholesterol is one of the molecules composing the cell membrane. b) makes the cell membrane fluid at room temperature.  

<h3>What is the role of cholesterol in the cell membrane?</h3>

The cell membrane is composed of two lipidic bilayers, cholesterol, proteins, and glucans incrusted in between.

Cholesterol is one type of lipid.

These molecules are incrusted in the membrane between the hydrophobic tails of lipids.

Their proportion on both sides of the membrane is almost the same.

Cholesterol is a significant molecule that contributes to the membrane fluidity, separates phospholipids, and interact with membrane proteins regulating in their activity.

The correct option is b). makes the cell membrane fluid at room temperature.

Oxygen has an atomic number of 8. The n = 1 energy level has two electrons, and the n = 2 energy level has six electrons. Oxygen
natita [175]
<span>Valence is defined as number of electrons that are present in the outermost orbital. Oxygen is in the 16th column of the periodic table and the total number of valance electrons is determined by units place digit of the column position which is 6 for oxygen. The outermost orbital is the high energy level and there are two in that orbit. So the valance is +2.</span>

What is the role of RNA polymerase?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
I think the answer MIGHT be D. RNA synthesis is carried out by proteins known as RNA polymerases that transcribe the genetic information from DNA in a highly-regulated, multi-stage process. But transcribe and translate are different so I'm not a 100% sure. Hope this helps!
