Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The affect on amount of O2 bonded to hemoglobin by the partial pressure of O2 should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The absorption of oxygen is an important process which takes place in more than one steps and is dependent upon many factors. These factors may facilitate or hinder the absorption of oxygen thus decreasing or increasing the amount of oxygen absorbed.
(b)
Interpretation:
The affect on amount of O2 bonded to hemoglobin by the partial pressure of CO2 should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Transportation of gases through the blood is a very important process, one without which the body would lose effectively every function of the body. This process is dependent upon many factors which may facilitate or hinder the rate or amount of oxygen absorption in hemoglobin.
(c)
Interpretation:
The affect on amount of O2 bonded to hemoglobin by pH should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Absorption of gases in the blood is a very important process and this process is affected by many aspects or factors. The productivity of the process depends on these factors.

- The transfer or removal of an amino group (transamination/oxidative deamination) from an amino acid leads to an a-keto acid that constitutes a metabolic pathway intermediate, for example, an intermediate of the citric acid cycle. Which citric acid cycle intermediate is provided by the transamination or oxidative deamination of glutamate, as illustrated below?
