- A 300g red squirrel in a flow through respirometry chamber consumed 0.27 l O2/hr.a. What is it’s metabolic rate in kcal/hr?a. What is its metabolic rate per kg body mass?A crocodile, which can remain underwater without breathing for up to 1 hour drowns its air-breathing prey, then dines at its leisure. An adaptation that aids the crocodile in doing so is that it can utilize virtually 100% of the O2 in its blood whereas humans, for example, can only extract about 65% of the O2 in their blood. Crocodile Hb does not bind BPG. However, crocodile deoxyHb preferentially binds HCO3-. How does this help the crocodile obtain its dinner? Please help explain why/if this is the answer, thank you! As CO2 concentrations increase so will the concentration of HCO3-. The HCO3- preferentially binds to the crocodile's deoxyhemoglobin, which allosterically prompts the hemoglobin to assume the deoxy conformation and thus release its O2.In an experiment, hemoglobin is dissociated in a buffer and a subunit is isolated to study for its oxygen binding affinity. (i) What is the shape of the oxygen dissociation curve is expected in the experiment?Explain why. (ii) Is the Km of the isolated subunit higher or lower than the Km of an intact hemoglobin?
- Studies of oxygen transport in pregnant mammals show that the O2-saturation curves of fetal and maternal blood are markedly different when measured under the same conditions. Fetal erythrocytes contain astructural variant of hemoglobin, HbF, consisting of two α and two γ subunits (α2 γ2 ), whereas maternal erythrocytes contain HbA (α2β2).(a) Which hemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen under physiological conditions, HbA or HbF? Explain.(b) What is the physiological significance of the different O2 affinities?(c) When all the BPG is carefully removed from samples of HbA and HbF, the measured O2 -saturation curves (and consequently the O2 affinities) are displaced to the left. However, HbA now has a greater affinity for oxygen than does HbF. When BPG is reintroduced, the O2 -saturation curves return to normal, as shown in the graph. What is the effect of BPG on the O2 affinity of hemoglobin? How can the above information be used to explain the different O2 affinities of fetal and…The 2-3 phosphoglycerate (BFG) binds to the central gap formed by the hemoglobin monomers (a2b2) facilitating the reversible release of oxygen.

When muscles are more active physiological conditions change to affect oxygen binding to Hemoglobin. Briefly describe the changes that occur and why this affects hemoglobin function. Draw the shifted curve on the graph above. A. What physiological conditions change during exercise (levels of what molecules are increasing/decreasing)? B. How do these molecules directly affect Hb’s structure ? What interactions does this stabilize ? C. How do these interactions affect the affinity of Hb for O2? How would this affect the binding curve for Hb? Draw on the graph provided. D. How will this shift in the binding curve affect the function of Hemoglobin ? E.Where does the physiological pO2 in the tissues fall on the O2 binding curve ? In the lungs ? Why is this physiologically important?Highly active muscles generate lactic acid by respiration so fast that the blood bassing through the muscle actually experiences a drop in pH from 7.4 to 7.2. Under these conditions, hemoglobin releases about 10% more O2 than it does at pH 7.4. Explain.
- Hemoglobin is the oxygen carrier in the blood. What is the effect of each of the following treatments on the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin in vitro and how do these changes impact the T state vs. R state of the enzyme? A) Decrease in pH from 7.4 to 7.2. B) Increase in 2,3-BPG concentration.2,3 BPG is an allosteric effector that decrease haemoglobin affinity for oxygen by stabilizing the T-state of deoxyhaemoglobin. This lead to the release of oxygen to cells and body tissues for use. H atom and CO2 are also allosteric effector and can do same. How?13. There are several ways to measure cellular respiration experimentally. For example, CO2 and O2 gas sensors measure changes over time in the concentration of carbon dioxide or oxygen, respectively. Design two experiments to test the effects of changing two different variables or conditions (one per experiment) on the respiration of research organism of your choice.
