Question

A. Using the parameters for the binding affinity and cooperativity coefficient, calculate the fraction of oxymyoglobin and hemoglobin in the lungs and in the muscle tissue at sea level. 

 

pO2 lungs=100  pO2 tissues=20

 

B. Now suppose that you have climbed to the top of Mount Everest where the atmospheric pressure is reduced to 0.329 atm. [Assume that pO2 in the lungs is reduced from 100 torr to 32.9 torr. Also assume that pO2 in the tissues is unchanged.] 

 

1. On top of Mt. Everest, calculate the fraction of oxyhemoglobin in the lungs.

2. On top of Mt. Everest, calculate the transport efficiency      of O2 from the lungs to the tissues.  

 

asap please.
