Our human hemoglobin is 100% saturated near the alveoli and 80% saturated after passing through the systemic capillaries and moving back into the veins. By contrast, an extraterrestrial friend's oxygen-binding molecule is 100% saturated near their alveoli and 60% saturated after passing through their systemic arteries and moving back into the veins. How does his hemoglobin compare to yours? a. they deliver a larger share of oxygen to their tissues at rest b. the partial pressure of O2 in their alveoli is higher than ours c. the oxygen- binding molecule in their circulatory system is worse than ours d. the partial pressure
