1. Calculate the fractional saturation of myoglobin when
pO2 = (a) 1 torr; (b) 10 torr, and (c) 100 torr. When
pO2 = 2.8 torr, myoglobin is half-saturated (Y =
0.5).
2. Hemoglobin is 50% saturated with oxygen when pO2 =
26 torr. If hemoglobin exhibited hyperbolic binding (as myoglobin
does) with 50% saturation at 26 torr, what would be the
fractional
saturation when pO2 = 30
torr and 100 torr?
