Question

Which one of the following statements concerning the binding of the oxygen by hemoglobin is correct? The hemoglobin tetramer bind four molecules of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) The Bohr effect results in a lower oxygen affinity at higher pH values The oxygen affinity of hemoglobin increases as the percentage saturation of oxygen increases Carbon dioxide increases oxygen affinity at higher pH values

Step 1

Statement 1: The hemoglobin tetramer binds four molecules of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG). This statement is incorrect. Hemoglobin binds only one molecule of 2,3-BPG. Statement 2: The Bohr effect results in a lower oxygen affinity at higher pH values. This Show more…
