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.

What would happen if plants could not produce glucose.
Serggg [28]

A plant that is unable to produce glucose will likely die.

<h3>WHAT IS PHOTOSYNTHESIS?</h3>

Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants obtain their food using energy from sunlight.

The food molecules are in the form of an organic compound called glucose. The glucose is the source of energy for living cells.

This means that if a plant cell is unable to produce glucose, the plant will likely die because there is no source of energy for metabolic activities.

xeze [42]

The unit for power in electricity should be watt. The power show how many energy transferred during a time and the SI unit would be joule per second.  

The bill is charging for the amount of energy. The energy could be calculated by multiplying the power with time. In this case, the power in kilo watt will be multiplied by the duration in hour which make the kilowatt hour.

Which statement below describes a feature that is shared between kinesin and dynein? a. Both proteins "walk" towards the (+) end
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

C)Both proteins bind ATP and F-actin

*C option is not mentioned* there is a flaw in the question

Explanation:

Two families of motor proteins, kinesin and dynein, transport membrane-bounded vesicles, proteins, and organelles along microtubules. Nearly all kinesins move cargo toward the (+) end of microtubules (anterograde transport), whereas dyneins transport cargo toward the (−) end (retrograde transport).While

both the protiens have globular ATP-binding heads that function as the motor domain and interact with the microtubules.
