Answer:

Explanation:

Actually the haemoglobin molecule consists of 2 parts, the haem which is a prosthetic group and the other globin which is a protein. So the haemoglobin as is a protein so, is arranged in quaternary structure of protein which contains 4 subunits. The subunits depend upon the organism whose haemoglobin is being talked about. So the normal haemoglobin found in red blood cells contains 2 alpha subunits + 2 beta subunits. At the centre of each subunit there is the haem part attached. To the centre of haem the Fe3+ ion are present which actually attaches to 1 Oxygen molecule. So as 4 subunits are present and each subunit has 1 Fe3+ ion, so total 4 Oxygen molecules can bind to the 1 Hb molecule!!

Which energy is affected by an object's mass?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A potential

B kinetic

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where, K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Potential energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

$P.E = mgh$

Where, P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Both potential and kinetic energy is affected by an object's mass.
