39. Carbon monoxide COris toxic to humans because: A it binds to myoglobin and causes it to denature. B) it is rapidly converted to toxic CO2. C) it binds to the globin portion of hemoglobin and prevents the binding of 0s. D) it binds to the Fe in hemoglobin and prevents the binding of 02. E) it binds to the heme portion of hemoglobir and causes heme to unbind from hemoglobin.

9. Carbon monoxide (CO) is toxic to humans because: It Binds to myoglobin and causes it to denature B. It is rapidly converted to toxic CO2. C It binds to the globin portion of hemoglobin and prevents the binding of O2 D. It binds to the Fe in hemoglobin and prevents the binding of O2. It binds to the heme portion of hemoglobin and causes heme to unbind from hemoglobin: 10. Patients with chronic hypoxia (low O2 levels) due to decreased lung function may adapt by increasing their circulating BPG levels. Predict which outcome will be TRUE for such a patient. A p50 for O2 will be decreased. B. p50 for O2 will be increased: C. The R-state of hemoglobin will be favored. D. O2 binding to hemoglobin will be hyperbolic: None of the answers is correct.
