Both myoglobin and hemoglobin exhibit cooperative binding to oxygen. True or False

Biology
1 answer:
lys-0071 [83]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

An Haemoglobin molecule  is made up of 4-polypeptides, with each of the polypeptide chain containing an haem group. These haem group can bind with one oxygen atom each.

T<u>he binding of the first oxygen atom  by the first haem group weakens the tertiary protein   structure  of  Quaternary structure  Hb, thus it makes it easier for the second Oxygen atom to bind faster, and the 3rd oxygen very fast and the 4th oxygen atom the fastest.These accelerated binding of the oxygen atoms, facilitated by the first binding O2, is called cooperative binding.It aids oxygen binding capacity and tranport functions  of Hb,</u>

<u />

<u>Myoglobin is an oxygen storage protein in  muscles, and not oxygen carrying molecule, It releases  stored O2 only in condition of low oxygen supply</u>.It has   one haem group in its molecule.Therefore its structural features can  not  carry out  cooperative binding.

Which of the following helps to explain a connection between science and society?
andriy [413]
Let's look at the options one by one:

<span>a. Science is never used in the wrong way by people trying to prove a point.
-this is wrong! science has been abused in many context in which people were trying to prove their (often mistaken) points: for example, it has been used to justify racism.


b. Science is able to answer society's questions about why life exists.
- this is wrong, as we still don't have an answer as to why life exists.

c. Science is intended to shape the moral views of society.
-this is not always true. Sometimes science is done just to find out new information rather than share views.

d. Science can be used to address societal issues and to inform policy.
-I think that this is the best answer! For example a scientific study in psychology can inform educational policies and a study into the effects of alcohol can inform an informational campaign about the threats of drinking.
