3. 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?
