I am eating a snack as I type this question. My body is breaking down the food to provide energyso that my muscles will continue to contract and I can continue to type. During this process, someacidic byproduct could be produced, decreasing the the pH in my muscles.a) What effect will this have on the structure of hemoglobin. (Briefly describe. No more than 2-3sentences.)b) What effect does this have on the Pso of hemoglobin?

Investigations pertaining to the structure and function of human Hb versus pH have demonstrated…
