About the Lecture
The lecture Oxygen Transport – Protein Functions by Kevin Ahern, PhD is from the course Biochemistry: Basics.
Included Quiz Questions
What type of curve is the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve?
- Sigmoidal curve
- Hyperbolic curve
- Parabolic curve
- Elliptic curve
- J-shaped curve
Which statement is NOT true?
- Myoglobin displays two different oxygen-binding affinity patterns; high affinity near the lungs, and low affinity in muscle cells.
- Hemoglobin displays positive cooperativity in the presence of high concentrations of oxygen.
- The myoglobin oxygen-binding curve follows a hyperbolic curve, whereas the hemoglobin oxygen-binding curve follows a sigmoidal pattern.
- Hemoglobin participates in the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, whereas myoglobin stores the oxygen in the muscle cells.
- Hemoglobin is composed of four subunits, whereas myoglobin is comprised of only one subunit.
