The effect of pH on the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin results in:

Chemistry
1 answer:
siniylev [52]2 years ago

Answer:

D. increasing protonation of β-chains His 146 with decreasing pH (i.e., higher H concentration) which stabilizes the T state conformation of Hemoglobin.

Explanation:

Human Hemoglobin is a tetrameric protein: consists of two α- and two β-subunits, and is organized as a dimer of two identical αβ dimers to form an (αβ)2 tetramer. Each subunit contains one heme group to which one O2 molecule binds reversibly. Hemoglobin principally has T low oxygen affinity state and R high oxygen affinity state, deoxyHb and fully liganded Hb respectively.

The binding of ligands such as H+, Cl- or BPG lowers the O2 affinity, in such way that affinity of hemoglobin towards oxygen O2 is decreased, when acidity of the environmental solution increases.  So, when pH decrease acidity increases, there are more H+ available who bind to His 146 in  β1 and  β2 respectively. After that, O2 is released.

Please tell me an example of a protein structure that would give positive test with Molisch’s Reagent?
Andru [333]

Answer:

positive reaction for Molisch's test is given by almost all carbohydrates (exceptions include tetroses & trioses). It can be noted that even some glycoproteins and nucleic acids give positive results for this test (since they tend to undergo hydrolysis when exposed to strong mineral acids and form monosaccharides).

Circle only those of the following reactions that are redox reactions:
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: options B,D and F

Explanation:

Since redox reactions are those which involves both oxidation and reduction

In B , Cu is oxidized and S gets reduced

D, Na gets oxidized and hydrogen gets reduced

F, carbon gets oxidized and Oxygen gets reduced

In g, there is no change in oxidation no of s in both product and Reactants is same +4

Similarly in the case of Ag and Mg.

.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Student 3

Explanation:

This question lets us know something about how the density of a gas varies with temperature.

When a gas is heated, its molecules spread out and expand. When this happens, the volume of the gas increases. Remember that density is defined as mass/volume. Thus as the volume increases, the density of the gas decreases.

Therefore, the carbon dioxide rose up because the heat expanded the gas and it became less dense.

Which of the following terms is a term that could refer to heterogeneous matter? a. element b. mixture c. compound d. solution
kupik [55]

Answer : b. mixture

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Element and compound are included in pure substance where the composition is the same in each part

Elements are made up of 1 type of atom, while the compounds of 2 or more types of atoms , both can be represented in the form of chemical symbols

A mixture is a combination of substances. The properties of a substance in the mixture component are unchanged

The mixture can be a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture

  • the homogeneous mixture if each part has the same composition
  • the heterogeneous mixture if each part has a different composition

Solution including into Homogeneous mixture, while suspension into a heterogeneous mixture

So a term that could refer to heterogeneous matter : b. mixture

Carbon-14 is best used to find the age of:
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

anciet fossils

Explanation:

Radiocarbon dating involves determining the age of an ancient fossil or specimen by measuring its carbon-14 content. Carbon-14, or radiocarbon, is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope that forms when cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere strike nitrogen molecules, which then oxidize to become carbon dioxide.
