The value of n, the Hill coefficient, for hemoglobin is about 2 to 3 times as great as the value for myoglobin.
Hill Equation
The two closely related equations that help to explain the binding of macromolecules to ligands are called the Hill equation. It helps to quantify the interaction between various ligand binding sites.
Hill coefficient
It is used to describe the cooperativity of ligand binding. It can be positive and negative depending on the value of the Hill coefficient. If the value of the Hill coefficient is more than one then it exhibits positively cooperative binding and if it is less than one then it exhibits negatively cooperative binding. Then there is the noncooperative binding where the Hill coefficient value is one. As for the hemoglobin and myoglobin, the values are,
- Hill coefficient of hemoglobin is 2.7 - 3.
- Hill coefficient of myoglobin is 1.0.
Thus hemoglobin is positively cooperative and myoglobin exhibits noncooperative binding.

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. according to this, the mass of the products must equal the mass of the reactants.
Answer:
Acids in stomach changing proteins into amino acid
Explanation:
The acids help digest food
Answer:
Passive transport.
Explanation:
The transport of molecules across the plasma membrane can occur by the two process- active transport and passive transport. No amount of energy is required during the active transport.
Passive transport includes the diffusion and osmosis. Both the diffusion and osmosis do not require energy and the molecules move down from the region of higher concentration towards the region of lower concentration. Small molecules, ions and proteins can go through the passive transport.
Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
It is Convergent evolution
