The value of n, the Hill coefficient, for hemoglobin is about 2 to 3 times as great as the value for myoglobin.
Hill Equation
The two closely related equations that help to explain the binding of macromolecules to ligands are called the Hill equation. It helps to quantify the interaction between various ligand binding sites.
Hill coefficient
It is used to describe the cooperativity of ligand binding. It can be positive and negative depending on the value of the Hill coefficient. If the value of the Hill coefficient is more than one then it exhibits positively cooperative binding and if it is less than one then it exhibits negatively cooperative binding. Then there is the noncooperative binding where the Hill coefficient value is one. As for the hemoglobin and myoglobin, the values are,
- Hill coefficient of hemoglobin is 2.7 - 3.
- Hill coefficient of myoglobin is 1.0.
Thus hemoglobin is positively cooperative and myoglobin exhibits noncooperative binding.

Answer:
There are many receptors for thyroxine on different target cells (tissues), so its effect can be huge
Explanation:
Target cell for a certain hormone is a cell that have hormone receptor specific for that hormone. There are two main types of receptors on target cell:
- cell membrane receptors (also called trans membrane receptors)-usually for peptide hormones, such as insulin
- intracellular receptors (also called nuclear receptors)-usually for steroid hormones, such as testosterone.
Hormone binding to the receptor leads to the signal cascade within the cell, which results in cell response.
Receptors for thyroid hormones are nuclear receptors.
Answer:
only appear in veg plants
Explanation:
Unlike other forms of asexual reproduction in plants such as vegetative plant propagation via cuttings, apomixis is asexual reproduction via seeds. In the case of most dandelions (i.e., Taraxacum officinale), the embryo in the seed forms without meiosis, thus the offsping are genetically identical to the parent.
Hominids have a larger brain. Other primates have smaller brains compared to humans, gorillas,chimps, and other Great Apes<span />
Answer:
1. ridges and trenches (either answer is acceptable)
2. mid-atlanitc
3. subduction zone
4. molten
5. oceanic trenches
Explain:
6. Rocks in the ocean eventually get subducted back into earths mantle due to slab pull. New rocks form at mid-ocean ridges as ridge forces two plates to diverge.
