Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

a) The partial pressure of oxygen

b) Acidity

c) The partial pressure of carbon dioxide

d) Temperature

e) BPG

The correct answer is a. The most important factor that determines the percent of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is <u>The partial pressure of oxygen </u>.

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is an oxygen transport protein. Partial Oxygen Pressure (PaO2), measures the pressure of dissolved oxygen in the blood, that is, it shows how well oxygen passes from the lungs into the bloodstream. A high partial pressure of oxygen in the blood produces an almost complete saturation of hemoglobin, which indicates the maximum amount of oxygen that combines, but when PaO2 is reduced, so is hemoglobin saturation, when saturation is below 90% hypoxemia occurs, that is, the level below normal blood oxygen levels.

In autotrophic bacteria, chlorophyll is located in the infolded regions of the plasma membrane.

Autotrophic bacteria are those that can synthesize their own food. The energy can be derived either from sunlight or from chemical reactions. Only a few amount of bacteria are autotrophic. The examples of such bacteria are: green sulfur bacteria, purple sulfur bacteria, heliobacteria, etc.

Chlorophyll is the green colored pigment involved in the process of photosynthesis. The chlorophyll acts as a reaction center that absorbs the energy from sunlight to initiate the process of photosynthesis. The energy absorbed by other pigments is also transferred to the reaction center.
