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.

The theoretical yield of beryllium chloride in a reaction was 10.7g. If the actual yield was 4.5g, what was the percent yield? R

Svetach [21]

In order to find the percent yield of a reaction, we need to use the theoretical yield and actual yield into a formula, which is the following:

%yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield)*100

Adding the values from the question in the formula:

%yield = (4.5/10.7)*100

%yield = 42

The percent yield for this reaction will be 42%

Starting with the water in the ocean place the below steps in the correct order showing how water moves through this cycle

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

C, A, D and B

Explanation:

Water evaporates from the surface of the oceans leaving behind salts. As water vapor rises, it collects and is stored in clouds.

As water cools in the clouds, condensation occurs. Condensation is when gases turn back into liquids.

Condensation creates precipitation. Precipitation includes rain, snow, hail and sleet. The precipitation allows the water to return again to the Earth's surface.

When precipitation lands on land, the water can sink into the ground to become part of our underground water reserves, also known as groundwater.
