QUESTION 14 COVID-19 has been shown to effect hemoglobin's ability to bind and transport oxygen effectively. As a result, tissues become oxygen starved and stop working, ultimately leading to death. When hemoglobin (a tetramer with four polypeptide chains) binds oxygen, the four polypeptide chains shift around slightly to accommodate the oxygen. If this doesn't occur in some COVID-19 patients, we can say the virus most likely affects the structure of hemoglobin. A. tertiary B. quaternary OC. primary D. secondary
