g Describe the structure of Hemoglobin. Does the binding of oxygen involve the direct interaction with the polypeptide chain

Biology

Scorpion4ik [409]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein present in the blood that functions for transportation of oxygen to different body cells..

Each hemoglobin molecule have tetrahedral structure consist of four heme groups surrounded by a globin group. Heme, is composed of porphyrin (ringlike organic structure) which is attched to an iron atom. There are four iron atoms in each molecule of hemoglobin that binds with four oxygen atoms and globin carry two linked pair of polypeptide chain.

The oxygen reversibly binds with the polypeptide chain and the process called oxygenation.

In a particular species of frogs, black spots are a dominant trait and their absence is a recessive trait. In a population of fr
swat32

The correct answer is optionD 134/200.

The frequency of the dominant allele can be calculated by the summation of the frequency of the homozygous individual frequency that has  dominant allele  and half of the heterozygous individuals, as half of the heterozygotes have dominant allele.

The frequency is no of individual of desired trait divided by total number of individual.

The calculation is shown below:frequency of dominant allele=frequency of dominant individual+\frac{1}{2} frequency of heterozygotes\\frequency of dominant allele=\frac{50}{100} +\frac{1}{2} (\frac{34}{100} )\\frequency of dominant allele=\frac{50}{100} +\frac{34}{200} \\frequency of dominant allele=\frac{2(50)+34}{200}\\ frequency of dominant allele=\frac{134}{200}

What are the overall reactions for photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
dem82 [27]
Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water

Describe and explain the changes in electrical activity both in receptor and in the sensory neurone as increasing pressure is ap
blsea [12.9K]
<span>Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors so they respond only at the onset and offset of the stimulus. The Pacinian corpuscle has a single afferent nerve fiber. Its end is covered by a sensitive receptor membrane whose sodium channels will open when the membrane is deformed in any way. Pressure thus causes sodium to enter the neuron and create a generator potential. If this potential reaches a certain threshold nerve impulses are formed. This impulse is now transferred along the axon with the use of sodium channels and sodium/potassium pumps in the axon membrane. The magnitude of the stimulus is encoded in the frequency of impulses generated in the neuron. So the more massive or rapid the deformation of a single corpuscle, the higher the frequency of nerve impulses generated in its neuron.</span>
