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.

Why is it important to write a lab report once the experiment is finished?

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Anyone should be able to read the lab report, repeat the experiment, and get the same results. This is important for scientists. ... They help the scientists know what has been done before and how it was performed. This can help them design experiments for their own research

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
