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

Chemistry
1 answer:
siniylev [52]3 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.

What is the relative mass of the electron?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The relative mass of electron is 0.0005

Explanation:

Atoms are the fundamental unit of matter. Every thing in the universe that occupy space and have mass is called matter. we can say that every matter is composed of atoms. while the atom is composed of subatomic particles called electron proton and neutron.

Subatomic particles       Relative charge       Relative mass

Proton                                 +1                              1

Neutron                                0                             1

Electron                                -1                           0.0005

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol = e⁻

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

electrical charge on electron= -1.6022 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Proton and Neutron:

An atom consist of positively charged central core (nucleus) that is made up of Proton and neutron.  Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P⁺  

electrical charge on proton= +1.6022 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Mass of proton=1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg

Symbol of neutron= n⁰

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg

electrical charge on neutron= 0
