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.

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.

How to identify Double replacement
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The easiest way to identify a double displacement reaction is to check to see whether or not the cations exchanged anions with each other.

Explanation:

if the states of matter are cited, is to look for aqueous reactants and the formation of one solid product (since the reaction typically generates a precipitate).

30.0L of helium gas into moles of helium gas.​
zepelin [54]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.25 moles (R.T.P.) or 1.34 moles (S.T.P.)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • 1 mole of a gas occupies a volume of 24 liters at room temperature and pressure (R.T.P.)
  • On the other hand, 1 mole of a gas will occupy 22.4 Liters at standard temperature and pressure (S.T.P.)

Therefore, at R.T.P.

30.0 Liters will be equivalent to;

= 30.0 L ÷ 24 L

= 1.25 moles

At S.T.P

30.0 Liters will be equivalent to;

= 30.0 L ÷ 22.4 L

= 1.34 moles

Thus, 30.0 L of helium gas are equivalent to 1.25 moles of He at R.T.P. and 1.34 moles at S.T.P.

Why does secondary succession usually occur more rapidly than primary succession.
trapecia [35]
Secondary succession occurs more rapidly than primary because soil is already available so there is no need for any other species. Also, there might still be surviving species in the soil present like seeds, roots and other plant organs.
