Imagine you are an oxygen molecule. Your job is to get inside the body and deliver oxygen to a working muscle. Create a word flowchart to identify all the structures you will encounter during your passage from the outside air to the inside of a muscle cell. Include a short description of how you will exchange places with carbon dioxide when you arrive at the cell.
Myoglobin’s oxygen-binding curve exhibits a shape best described as—
serpentine.
hyperbolic.
straight.
sigmoidal.
bell.

Increases in temperature and decreases in pH cause myoglobin to release oxygen to improve delivery to the hemoglobin in muscles. A molecule of myoglobin has higher oxygen binding capacity than a molecule of hemoglobin. Myoglobin has a higher oxygen affinity than does hemoglobin. Fetal hemoglobin has a lower affinity for oxygen than maternal hemoglobin, which makes it better suited to extract oxygen from the maternal circulation.arrow_forward
- Why transport oxygen is important ?arrow_forwardIn muscles, anaerobic respiration has an advantage over aerobic respiration in that it: A) Has a high energy lactic acid waste, rather than CO2 B) Produces alcohol and carbon dioxide C) is a shorter, quicker way to produce ATParrow_forwardCreate a venn diagram to compare and contrast aerobic respiration and anaerobic respirationarrow_forward
