Answer:

Explanation:

Haemoglobin is a red protein found in red blood cells of vertebrates responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood. Each haemoglobin has capacity to carry four oxygen molecules. When oxygen is available or present, the molecules of oxygen bind to the iron of the heme prothestic group and it's tend to release oxygen when oxygen level is low in the environment. Haemoglobin carries oxygen in lungs and releases it to tissues.

Answer:

Hemoglobin is the pigment present in the red blood cells that helps in the transport of oxygen in the body. A single hemoglobin molecule can binds maximally with four oxygen molecule.

The affinity of the hemoglobin with oxygen depends on the different factors like temperature, presence of the oxygen and the partial pressure. The oxygen affinity for hemoglobin increase with the increase in the oxygen concentration as they shows positive cooperativity. The decline in the oxygen concentration results in decrease in the affinity of hemoglobin with oxygen.

N76 [4]

Answer:

Which sequence of events is required to form a limestone cave where you can walk around and observe cave formations, such as stalactites? (Note: stalactites hang from the ceiling - they have to hold on tight to the roof.)

A geological sequence of events as involving the lowering of the water table to expose cave structures where stalactites and stalagmites form which is described as follows,

Explanation:

1. Acidic percolated water formed cavities of solution beneath the natural water table known as phreatic zone

2. After the passage of time there is a drop in the water table dropped forming caves from cavities

3. These caves, which are air filled voids that contains adequate environment for forming stalactites and stalagmites and where they are found
