Which of the following statements about 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (BPG) binding is FALSE?

Biology
2 answers:
Kitty [74]3 years ago

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.

Leona [35]

A nonfunctional CD4 protein on a helper T cell would result in the helper T cell being unable to interact with a class II MHC-antigen complex

Importance of Class II MHC-Antigen complex

  • CD4+ T cell-dependent immunological responses need antigen presentation restricted to MHC class II.

Professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) perform a range of functions that are essential for the generation of an effective and specific immune response.

  • Dendritic cells (DCs) investigate their surroundings and gather foreign antigens, such as those derived from bacteria or viruses, before activating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells to initiate adaptive immune responses against these antigens.
  • The thymus' DCs and epithelial cells express (and also capture) a diverse set of self-proteins that contribute to both central and peripheral tolerance.

Recognizing the processes involved in the creation (and stability) of peptide-MHC class II complexes in APCs provides crucial information about T cellular metabolism including both normal and pathological settings.

Hence, the correct answer is option D
