At PO2 = 40 mm Hg, which statement about the saturation of either myoglobin (Mb) or hemoglobin (Hb) is true? At PO2 = 40 mm Hg,
which statement about the saturation of either myoglobin (Mb) or hemoglobin (Hb) is true? At this partial pressure of oxygen, neither Hb nor Mb would be fully saturated with oxygen. At this partial pressure of oxygen, both Hb and Mb would be equally saturated with oxygen. At this partial pressure of oxygen, Mb would be almost completely saturated but Hb would not. At this partial pressure of oxygen, Hb would be completely saturated but Mb would not.
1 answer:
Answer:
At this partial pressure of oxygen, Mb would be almost completely saturated but Hb would not.
Explanation:
The oxygen saturation curves for Mb and Hb are quite different. The curve for Mb is hyperbolic while that for Hb is sigmoidal.
Mb reaches oxygen saturation before Hb.
Thus, at a partial pressure of 40 mmHg, Mb is almost completely saturated but Hb is not.

Explanation:
The formula relating the mass m of a sample and the heat q to vaporize it is
q = mL, where L is the latent heat of vaporization.
Answer and explanation:
The attached figure shows five different structures for the chemical formula C4H5O5, but only one of these structures represent the malic acid.
Malic acid is a dicarboxylic acid, this means malic acid has two
-COOH groups. Also, malic acid is a secundary alcohol, which means it has a R2-C-OH group.
-Structure A has two carboxylic groups, but it doesn´t have a secundary alcohol.
-Structure B doesn´t have any caborxylic group.
-Structure C has two carboxylic groups and it is a secundary alcohol. Structure C is the Malic acid
