Under appropriate conditions, hemoglobin dissociates into its four subunits. Isolated α subunits bind oxygen, but the O2 saturat

ion curve is hyperbolic instead of sigmoidal. In addition, its saturation curve is not affected by the presence of H+, CO2, or BPG. What do these observations indicate about the cooperativity and allosterism observed in hemoglobin?

Answer with Explanation:

Hemoglobin is an allosteric protein. An allosteric protein according to the MWC model, are those proteins that are characterized by molecules called oligomers and being formed by small equal subunits and allosteric proteins are chemically organized in such a way that they retain their symmetry.

In addition, these proteins can adopt several conformational states without losing symmetry.This leads us to the fact that hemoglobin being an allosteric protein also has the property called cooperativity. Cooperativity means that when PPO2 increases, the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen increases. This is because when an oxygen molecule binds to hemoglobin, a signal is triggered that leads to other hemoglobin subunits increase their affinity to it as oxygen molecules bind together.

Nutrient rich blood from the digestive organs must be drained by
Tasya [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. hepatic portal system.

Explanation:

The hepatic portal system involves hepatic portal veins and its accessory tributaries. The hepatic portal system collects blood from digestive organs and spleens that consist of nutrients absorbed from these organs and circulate to the liver.

This system is unique to circulate both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. This system involves most of the digestive organs from the esophagus to the end of the canal.

Thus, the correct answer is option c. the hepatic portal circulation.
