Structure of hemoglobin and how does oxygen bind to it

1 answer:

3 0

Hemoglobin is a protein that exists in the red blood cells. Hemoglobin contains iron atoms in its chemical structure which are responsible for binding with oxygen or carbon dioxide. In its final structure, Hemoglobin contains 4 sites that can bind to oxygen. Despite that, it's difficult for a hemoglobin molecule to bind with four oxygen atoms at the same time because the structure will be complicated. Hemoglobin combined with oxygen is called oxyhemoglobin, while that combined to carbon dioxide is called carboxy hemoglobin.

Which labeled placemark in the layers folder represents the stratosphere?

Leya [2.2K]

The atmosphere is divided into different regions, called layers. The layer closest to the surface is known as troposphere, after which comes the stratosphere. The stratosphere begins at an altitude of 10 miles above the surface of the earth and stretches up to 31 miles above the surface of the earth. It is the second layer of the atmosphere (beginning from the surface of the earth) and it is the region which contains ozone, which plays a vital role in stopping ultraviolet radiation from reaching the earth's surface.
