The graph below shows the hemoglobin dissociation curves (also called equilibrium curves) for normal blood pH (the blue curve) a

nd two other conditions.
Given what you know about the Bohr shift, what is the difference in O2 saturation of hemoglobin in the lungs versus hemoglobin in exercising tissues, as represented on this graph? Keep in mind that the pH of blood in the lungs is not the same as the pH of blood in exercising tissues.
Express your answer in percent, but do not include the percent sign in your answer.

The right answer is 57 (%)

The Bohr effect is the decrease of the oxygen attached to the hemoglobin when the pH decreases or when the CO2 level increases.

at the level of the lungs, one tends to find slightly alkaline pH due to the reduced CO2 pressure compared to the blood level, therefore the affinity of the oxygen with the hemoglobin is high and corresponds to the green curve. or the saturation of oxygen is 100% to 100mmHg of oxygen.

At the tissue level, there is more CO2 (waste) and less O2 (since it is consumed) and the pH is more acidic than that of blood pH (due to CO2 and the decrease of bicarbonate at this level) . This causes a deviation of the curve to the right as shown in the diagram with the red color curve. A saturation coefficient of 43% at 30 mmHg of the oxygen can be observed.

When subtracting between the two values: 100 - 43 = 57%

Why is there no external male reproductive organ in a frog?
Morgarella [4.7K]
Frogs reproduce by a special kind of embrace called "amplexus" which is an external fertilization that does not occur inside the female's body.

During mating (amplexus), the male frog grasps the female frog's trunk with his forelimbs.
The female frog discharges eggs into the water and then the male frog sheds the sperms over those eggs.

The nervous system that controls respiration is called autonomic because it
sasho [114]
<span>The nervous system that controls respiration is called autonomic because it isn't subject to voluntary control. Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is responsible for regulating the functions of the body's internal organs like the heart, stomach, and intestines. It is a division of the peripheral nervous system that acts unconsciously and it regulates bodily functions like heart rate, digestion, and respiration. The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that regulates the Autonomic Nervous System. Other reflex reactions like coughing, sneezing, swallowing, and vomiting are also part of autonomic functions that occur in the body.</span>

Heterozygous alleles are found on ________ chromosomes
Ksju [112]

Answer is Homologous.

A diploid individual having two different alleles for a specific trait is called heterozygous. An allele is the alternative form of the same gene. The cells in diploid organisms contain sets of homologous chromosomes, which are paired chromosomes. Each chromosome of a homologous pair has the same genes on the same positions. Although homologous chromosomes have the same genes, they may have different alleles for those genes.  

Example: The gene for seed color trait in a pea plant exists in pair. One gene or allele for yellow seed (R) and the other for green seed color (r). A heterozygous plant would contain alleles for seed color (Rr). Gene R is present one chromosome and its allele (r) is present on the other chromosome of the homologous pair.
