Which statement below about contrasting Hb and Mb is FALSE?

Chemistry
1 answer:
olchik [2.2K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. Hb binds O2 more tightly than Mb.

Explanation:

<u>Hb and Mb are both oxygen carrier protiens which contain the heme group. Hb has 4 heme units in 1 moleucle which work via coperative effect. On the other hand, Mb has only one heme unit. </u>

<u>From above theory, statement A and B are correct.</u>

<u>Although the heme group of the Mb is identical to those of Hb, Mb has a higher affinity for carrying oxygen than hemoglobin.</u>

<u>Hence, Statement C is wrong.</u>

Thats why the function of hemoglobin is to transport oxygen and that of myoglobin is to store oxygen.

<u>When a curve is plotted between oxygen accepted and the pressure of the oxygen, Hb shows sigmoidal, whereas Mb shows hyperbolic oxygen saturation curves.</u><u> The statement D is correct.</u>

<u>Bohr effect and various factors decribe the statement : Hb-oxygen binding is dependent on physiological changes in pH, whereas Mb-oxygen binding is not. </u><u>The  statement E is also correct.</u>

In a fluorine atom, on which energy level are the valence electrons found?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

second energy level

Explanation:

Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in outer most orbital of the atom.

This can be easily found through the electronic configuration of atom.

Electronic configuration of F:

F₉ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁵

We can see that the valence electrons are present in second energy level of F atom.

There are seven valence electrons of fluorine.

It is called halogens.

Halogens are very reactive these elements can not be found free in nature. Their boiling points also increases down the group which changes their physical states. i.e fluorine is gas while iodine is solid.

Fluorine:

1. it is yellow in color.

2. it is flammable gas.

3. it is highly corrosive.

4. fluorine has pungent smell.

5. its reactions with all other elements are very vigorous except neon, oxygen, krypton and helium.
