(a)
To determine: The dependent variable in the graph.
Introduction: Hemoglobin is an iron-rich protein present in the blood. This protein acts as a carrier of oxygen in the blood. Oxygen gets attached to the iron-rich protein in the blood and transported to a different part of the body.
(a)

Explanation of Solution
The given graph shows the effect of pH on the hemoglobin-oxygen binding. Oxygen level represents the X-axis, and the Y-axis represents the percentage of hemoglobin bound to the oxygen. In the given graph, the dependent variable is the percentage of hemoglobin bound O2.
(b)
To determine: The pH value that represents the higher concentration of hydrogen ion and also explains their nature.
Introduction: pH value can be defined as hydrogen ion concentration in the solution. The solution which has a higher concentration of hydrogen ion is considered acidic, and a solution with a lower concentration of hydrogen ion is basic.
(b)

Explanation of Solution
The given graph shows three pH values that have a higher concentration of hydrogen ion are 7.2, 7.4, and 7.6. The solution which has a pH value less than seven are considered acidic, but in the above graph, the values which are the least basic have the higher acidic content. The pH value of 7.2 has a higher concentration of hydrogen ion. The pH value of 7.2 is more acidic than the other two pH values.
