Answer:

C. Hb binds O2 more tightly than Mb.

Explanation:

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.

From above theory, statement A and B are correct.

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

Hence, Statement C is wrong.

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

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

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

Several tomato plants are grown indoors next to a sunny window. The plants receive water and fertilizer and remain on the window

You can see my previous answer to this very same question on brainly.com/question/11374210.

The answer is: option D. Response to environment.

Explanation:

As explained, plants (organisms in general) respond to the stimulus provided by the environment.

Such behavior is named tropism. Tropism may be positive or negative.

When the plant's stem bends toward the window, it is showing positive phototropism, which means that the plant growth response to light such that the stems bend toward light, permiting the leaves to receive more light.

I also mention that while the plant's stems posses positive phototropism they posses negative gravitropism and the roots posses positive gravitropism.

Gravitropism is the response of the plant growth to gravity.

Stems grow away from gravity meaning that this is negative gravitropism, but roots grow toward gravity which is positive gravitropism

In which region is the substance in both the solid phase and the liquid phase ?

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: Region 3

Explanation: The temperature and time graph suggests that region 3 is the region in which the substance can co exist in both the phases that is solid phase and liquid phase.

Region 1 explains that the the solid has just started melting and there occurs a break point and then region 2 again explains that the solid is taking more time with temperature to get converted into the liquid and thus region 3 explains the equilibrium between the two phases.
