The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is less than its structural analog myoglobin. However, this does not affect hemoglobin's usefulness for the body; on the contrary, it allows hemoglobin to be a  more efficient carrier than myoglobin. This is because hemoglobin can release oxygen more easily than can myoglobin. It is both important for oxygen to be carried to different areas and also to be released when needed. The higher affinity of a given protein for oxygen, the harder it will be for that protein to release oxygen when needed. Therefore, hemoglobin's lower affinity for oxygen serves it well because it allows hemoglobin to release oxygen more easily in the body.

What ultimately happens to the light energy captured during photosynthesis?
Degger [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is- It is used to produce glucose molecule

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in which light energy is captured by chlorophyll which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Oxygen is also produced as a by-product in this process.

The light energy is used to split water into oxygen, hydrogen ions and release electrons from it. The electrons pass through many electron carriers through photosystem II and I and ultimately reduce NADH+ to NADPH which is used in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose.

Therefore glucose is produced by the help of light energy captured during photosynthesis.
