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's the purpose of balancing or monitoring your checking account
11111nata11111 [884]
<span>The purpose is to prevent going into the negative zone. When you start paying with checks and you don't have money on your account that's the same as stealing things which means that you can get arrested for paying with checks while not having money. It's like fraud. Also, in case you're late with payments, you can get interest rates that don't suit you.</span>

What does free floating DNA mean ?
ivann1987 [24]

Cells with cell chemicals and genetic material having no defined organelles and are all enclosed within a cell wall are called prokaryotes. Organisms in this group are small in size and are mainly bacteria. Ribosomes in these small cells are also small and ‘free floating’.  DNA in prokaryotic cells is in the form of a circular strand and not as a chromosome.

Have an awesome day! :)
