Which statement below about contrasting Hb and Mb is FALSE?

Chemistry
1 answer:
olchik [2.2K]2 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>

What effect does adding a neutron have on the atoms identity
Sergeu [11.5K]

Neutrons don’t carry an electrical charge, meaning that adding or subtracting them from the nucleus will not change the electrical charge of the nucleus of an atom. But, adding/removing neutrons changes the mass of the nucleus. This is how isotopes are formed.

A solution is prepared by mixing 25.0 g H2O and 25.0 g C2H5OH. Determine the mole fractions of each substance.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Mole fraction H₂O → 0.72

Mole fraction C₂H₅OH → 0.28

Explanation:

By the mass of the two elements in the solution, we determine the moles of each:

25 g . 1 mol/ 18g = 1.39 moles of water (solute)

25 g . 1 mol / 46 g = 0.543 moles of ethanol (solvent)

Mole fraction solute = Moles of solute / Total moles

Mole fraction solvent = Moles of solvent / Total moles

Total moles = Moles of solute + Moles of solvent

1.39 moles of solute + 0.543 moles of solvent = 1.933 moles → Total moles

Mole fraction H₂O = 1.39 / 1.933 → 0.72

Mole fraction C₂H₅OH= 0.543 / 1.933 → 0.28

Remember that sum of mole fractions = 1
