Hemoglobin has a much greater affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. In a hyperbaric chamber (containing high levels of oxygen) can treat carbon monoxide poisoning, by displacing carbon monoxide from Hemoglobin competitively.
Hemoglobin has a much greater affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. This is because, a coordinate bond is formed with Carbon monoxide and Haem structure of the hemoglobin.
Carbon monoxide with Hemoglobin is called as Carboxy haemoglobin.
Presence of oxygen displaces the Carbon monoxide with Hemoglobin that is formed due to poisoning.
Hyperbaric chamber is a chamber which contains pure oxygen in a chamber. The atmospheric pressure is kept about three to four times than the normal, such that the replacement of Carbon monoxide from Haem can occur as fast as possible since this reduces the half life of the Carboxy haemoglobin.
It is advisable not to treat Carbon monoxide poisoning yourself.
Hyperbaric oxygen is used to treat the following conditions as well:
- Infections
- Wounds
- Air bubble is blood

Answer:
ACTIVATION OF PHOSPHORYLASE KINASE AND ALLOSTERICALLY ACTIVATION OF PHOSPHORYLASE KINASE B
Explanation:
In a contracting skeletal muscle, there is a rapid need of ATP by the muscle cell. The energy need is obtained by the degradation of glycogen into glucose which then enters glycolysis. Muscle contraction causes muscle depolarization in which there is the rapid influx of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the sacroplasm of the myocytes. This in turn causes the binding of calcium ion with calmodulin which thenb activates phosphorylase kinase from which it allosterically activate the b form of the enzyme needed for the conversion of glycogen to glucose. The other options do not occur as a result of increase in cytolic calcium concentration.
To work it out, you divide 240 by 100 to work out 1% of it, then multiply that by 95 to work out 95% of it. So
(240/100) * 95 = 228mL
