Answer:

The answer is C. BPG aids oxygen delivery to tissues by increasing the affinity of myoglobin for oxygen

Explanation:

The 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) which can also be referred to as the 2,3 - di phosphoglycerate , is being produced by the red cells and has the ability to deoxygenate hemoglobin. This is because , his accumulation results to a decrease in the affinity for oxygen, this means that , it will convert hemoglobin to a low oxygen affinity state.

In this case, comparing the options given, it will be concluded that, 2,3 -biphosphoglycerate {BPG} does not aids the delivery of oxygen to tissues, but decreases the affinity of oxygen, which deoxygenate hemoglobin, and causes the concentration of the carbon dioxide to increase.

Answer:

The answer is C: BPG aids oxygen delivery to tissues by increasing the affinity of myoglobin for oxygen.

Explanation:

2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) or BPG controls the affinity for haemoglobin to oxygen and not myoglobin. Myoglobin is a monomer, where as haemoglobin is a tetramer hence BPG cannot have an effect on myoglobin.

Natali [406]

A cat is lying on its abdomen with its limbs extended. The view of the tarsus in this position would be called Plantarodorsal (PID.)

What is plantarodorsal?

The sole of the foot, also known as the plantar region, is the part of the foot that touches the ground.
The dorsum of the foot, also known as the dorsal region, is the part of the foot that faces upward.

What part of the foot is the dorsal?

The dorsum of foot is the area facing upwards while standing.

What is dorsal and plantar flexion?

Plantar flexion describes foot movement contracting muscles in the sole of the foot while its opposite motion, dorsal flexion or dorsiflexion, describes movement toward the upper side or back.

iren [92.7K]

The given example suggests the principle of resource partitioning.

The resource partitioning is a method of division of resources present in a particular niche to avoid the competition. In this case, the organism divide the regions having the abundant resources and they do not interfere in each others region.

In this case, the resource partition takes place by dividing the regions in the flask. one species use he resources present in the middle region and other uses the resource in the bottom.
