Answer:
The scientist is observing an intensive property of a superconductor.
Explanation:
An intensive property is a bulk property of matter. This means that an intensive property does not depend on the amount of substance present in the material under study. Typical examples of intensive properties include; conductivity, resistivity, density, hardness, etc.
An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of substance present in a sample. Extensive properties depend on the quantity of matter present in the sample under study. Examples of extensive properties include, mass and volume.
Resistance of a superconducting material has nothing to do with the amount of the material present hence it is an intensive property of the superconductor.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
The statements that are True are;
- Upon binding a molecule of oxygen, Hb undergoes a conformational change that makes the binding of subsequent O2 molecules easier.
- The conformational change induced in Hb upon binding oxygen is the result of a small movement (0.2 Å) of the iron cation in the center of heme.
- Site-directed mutagenesis studies have indicated that the cooperativity of O2 binding in Hb is attributable to the movement of the F helix in Hb.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- Hemoglobin is a key pigment in the blood that transports oxygen gas to all the tissues in the body. It is made up of two types of chains; that is two alpha chains and two beta chains.
- in its deoxygenated state hemoglobin has a low affinity for oxygen compared to myoglobin. When oxygen is bound to the first subunit of hemoglobin it leads to subtle changes to the quaternary structure of the protein. This in turn makes it easier for a subsequent molecule of oxygen to bind to the next subunit.
