Answer: Fe2 ; affinity

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is the specialised protein which are present in red blood cells which gives it the ability to carry oxygen to the tissues and return carbondioxide from the tissues to the lungs.

The hemoglobin is made up of

--> a heme group: this consists of a ferrous iron ( Fe2) and a surrounding porphyrin ring.

--> globin.

As the haemoglobin molecule loads and unloads oxygen (O2) the individual globin chains in the hemoglobin molecule move on each other. When oxygen is unloaded the beta chains are pulled apart, permitting entry of the metabolite 2,3-diphosphoglycerate resulting in a lower affinity of the molecule for oxygen and higher affinity for carbondioxide.

Also, when the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) in the blood is high, the beta chains move close together, O2 binds to heme in hemoglobin, the ion Fe2 is drawn into the plane of the porphyrin causing a conformational change that is transmitted to adjacent subunits enhancing the AFFINITY for additional O2 binding.

Where would you expect to find the kelp forest, a type of algae, pictured here and why?
sertanlavr [38]

answer:

Where would you expect to find the kelp forest, a type of algae, pictured here and why? Algae live only in the epipelagic zone because it is the only zone with enough light for photosynthesis. During an El Niño year, there is increased precipitation in the Southern United States, but the north is warmer and dry

Why is it so important for measurements in an experiment to be accurate AND precise?
Mashcka [7]
The reason they have to be so accurate and precise is because, let's say you were doing a lab or something that was involving chemicals. If you had to put a certain amount of chemicals in your experiment, but when you were doing to the math, you messed up and didn't go back and even bother to fix it, that is a really BIG issue. Because something will probably happen to your chemicals because you might have added to much of something into it. So that's why you always have to be so precise and accurate!
