What is the effect on the O2 affinity of hemoglobin? An increase in CO from 1.0 parts per million(ppm) in a normal indoor atmosp

here to 30 ppm in a home that has a malfunctioning or leaking furnace.
With this one I am unsure. Is this answer increase in oxygen affinity of hemoglobin because carbon monoxide bound to one site in hemoglobin will shift the oxygen saturation curve of the remaining sites to the left, resulting in an increased affinity for oxygen, or would it be a decrease in oxygen affinity for hemoglobin because carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin tighter to hemoglobin than oxygen?

Answer:

It increases haemoglobin's affinity.

Explanation:

When CO binds to one heme molecule, the haemoglobin molecule becomes in a relaxed state and oxygen can bind so very easily.

The problem is not in the uptake of oxygen, it's with its delivery. The affinity for oxygen increases so much such that it becomes impossible to release and deliver the oxygen to tissues.

How finance might contribute to a rise to ones stress level as you move from school to a higher education institution
riadik2000 [5.3K]
When someone moves to a place of higher education, financial issues are usually a big factor. Can they afford it? Is there ways help lower costs? Are they eligible for scholarships? Would they make enough to pay any student loans they may take? People also need to worry about if they have enough for a place to stay while in school, they also need to look at transportation. All of these factors are things that involve finance
