Which five statements about hemoglobin and myoglobin structure are true? Each iron atom can form six coordination bonds. One of

these bonds is formed between iron and oxygen. By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron atom. Molecular oxygen binds irreversibly to Fe2+ in heme. Heme is composed of an organic protoporphyrin component and a metal atom. Hemoglobin and myoglobin are heterotetramers. Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron atom. Each hemoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules; each myoglobin can bind only one oxygen molecule.

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

Each iron atom can form six coordination bonds. One of these bonds is formed between iron and oxygen.  

TRUE

By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron atom.  

TRUE

Molecular oxygen binds irreversibly to Fe²⁺ in heme.  

False. It binds reversibly with heme.

Heme is composed of an organic protoporphyrin component and a metal atom.  

TRUE

Hemoglobin and myoglobin are heterotetramers.

False. Hemoglobin is a tetramer. Myoglobin a monomeric protein.

Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron atom.

TRUE

Each hemoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules; each myoglobin can bind only one oxygen molecule.

Answer:

1.  Each iron atom can form six coordination bonds. One of these bonds is formed between iron and oxygen

2.By itself heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent oxidation of the iron atom.

3.Each hemoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules; each myoglobin can bind only one oxygen molecule.

4. Heme is composed of an organic protoporphyrin component and a metal atom.

5.  Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a central iron atom.

Explanation:

Myoglobin is a protein that is muscle tissues, it functions as an oxygen storage unit. Hemoglobin is found in the fed blood dells, it functions as an oxygen transporter. It transport oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

2) A professor wanted to set up a similar experiment as the one you performed in lab. He wanted to use Al(OH)3 in place of Ca(OH
expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

The only flaw I can find is you squared 3 instead of cubing it and it will be 27X^4 instead of 9x^4.

This reduces the amount slightly, but the number is still incredibly high (about 10 ^ 5 L is what I've calculated). Your professor might want to point out that this will not be a effective experiment due to the large volume of saturated

The Ksp value of Ca(OH)2 on the site (I used 5.5E-6 [a far more soluble compound than Al(OH)3]) and estimated how much of it will be needed. My calculation was approximately 30 ml. If you were using that much in the experiment, it implies so our estimates for Al(OH)3 are right, that the high amount is unreasonably big and that Al(OH)3 will not be a suitable replacement unless the procedure was modified slightly.

Can someone help me find the theoretical value of methane? It is chemistry
antiseptic1488 [7]

Methane is lighter than air, having a specific gravity of 0.554. It is only slightly soluble in water. It burns readily in air, forming carbon dioxide and water vapour; the flame is pale, slightly luminous, and very hot. The boiling point of methane is −162 °C (−259.6 °F) and the melting point is −182.5 °C (−296.5 °F). Methane in general is very stable, but mixtures of methane and air, with the methane content between 5 and 14 percent by volume, are explosive. Explosions of such mixtures have been frequent in coal mines and collieries and have been the cause of many mine disasters.
