In addition to hemoglobin levels, do you think that people at high elevations may exhibit other adaptations?
In carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, CO binds to the heme of hemoglobin much tighter than oxygen (O2). What effect will this have on the ability of the tissues to get oxygen?
Group of answer choices
There will be no effect.
CO will deliver oxygen to the tissues.
Hemoglobin will bind more O2 and deliver more oxygen to the tissues.
More hemoglobin will be produced to deliver oxygen to the tissues.
Hemoglobin will bind less O2 and deliver less oxygen to the tissues.
Discuss what is the advantage of producing different hemoglobins at different stages ofdevelopment?

Hemoglobin molecules retain less oxygen per heme group under alkaline conditions than they do at neutral pH or under acidic conditions. B. Hemoglobin molecules give up oxygen more readily under alkaline conditions than they do under neutral pH or under acidic conditions. C. Hemoglobin molecules change shape and begin to lose oxygen molecules. D. Hemoglobin molecules retain oxygen more readily under alkaline conditions than they do at neutral pH or under acidic conditions. E. There is no change in hemoglobin's oxygen-binding affinity under alkaline conditions when compared to blood at neutral pH or under acidic conditions.arrow_forwardYou are studying with a friend who is describing the Bohr effect. She tells you that in the lungs, hemoglobin binds oxygen and releases hydrogen ion; as a result, the pH increases. She goes on to say that in actively metabolizing muscle tissue, hemoglobin releases oxygen and binds hydrogen ion and, as a result, the pH decreases. Do you agree with her reasoning? Why or why not?arrow_forward
- After spending a day or more at high altitude (with an oxygen partial pressure of 75 torr), the concentration of 2,3- bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) in red blood cells increases. What effect would an increased concentration of 2,3-BPG have on the oxygen-binding curve for hemoglobin? Why would this adaptation be beneficial for functioning well at high altitude?arrow_forwardWhich statement describes hemoglobin's cooperativity? A. When tetrameric hemoglobin binds one molecule of O2, its shape changes to make it bind more readily to a second molecule of O2. B. When tetrameric hemoglobin binds one molecule of O2 its shape changes, which prevents binding of any more O2 molecules. C. When oxygen is present in the blood, the shape of hemoglobin changes to allow oxygen to bind to it. D. When the oxygen concentration in blood decreases, then hemoglobin changes its shape to retain oxygen more readily. E. None of the above answer choices correctly describes cooperativity.arrow_forwardWhich of the following describe(s) a characteristic or function of hemoglobin?a.
