Problem 4 In class, we 1.0 discussed multiple ways that hemoglobin achieves an enhanced difference between the fractional saturation of oxygen from lungs to tissues (Ylungs-Ytissues). Lamprey hemoglobin binds oxygen in a monomeric form, but using the Bohr effect, is still is able to transport 60% of its oxygen binding capacity from pO2 = 80 torr to 20 torr between its oxygen absorbing organ and the tissues. Human Hemoglobin Curve 20 40 60 80 100 PO₂ By drawing two curves on the figure at right showing the human tetrameric hemoglobin curve, show how Lamprey hemoglobin can achieve this oxygen transport. Indicate on each curve the conditions that are associated with it.
