Describe the two basic parts of a hemoglobin molecule.Which part is associated with iron? What gases aretransported by each part?
The ability of hemoglobin to bind oxygen decreases with decreasing oxygen concentration and also decreases with increasing carbon dioxide concentration. What effect do these phenomena have on the delivery of oxygen to tissues?
Why does hemoglobin have high affinity for oxygen in arterial blood and lower affinity in capillaries beds? Explain in terms of blood oxygen pressure.
