Blood Plasma

2.

Which fact is true about Haemoglobin

a)

Helps fight infection

b)

Transports lactic acid

c)

It is a carbohydrate

d)

Each molecule has 4 sections

3.

Where do you have high levels of O2 (pick 2)

a)

blood leaving the lungs

b)

blood leaving the muscle

c)

in the lungs/alveoli

d)

in the veins and venules

4.

What does high affinity mean in relation to haemoglobin

a)

wants to keep hold of O2 molecules

b)

wants to collect lots of CO2

c)

wants to release O2 molecules

d)

neither collects or releases gas

e)

not sure

5.

Why is there a low level of oxygen saturation in the muscle?

a)

because the muscle is relaxed

b)

so that protein is made

c)

the muscle has already used up the O2 to make ATP

d)

so the liver works harder

6.

how many O2 molecules can haemoglobin carry

a)

1

b)

2

c)

3

d)

4

7.

a)

when we are relaxed

b)

when we are sat in an ice bath

c)

when we are exercising

d)

when we are eating

8.

There is high affinity in the lungs and low affinity in the muscles

a)

True

b)

False

c)

not sure

9.

When we exercise...

a)

more O2 is made and there is no acidity

b)

more CO2 is made and there is no change in acidity

c)

more CO2 is made and the blood becomes acidic (low pH)

d)

less CO2 is found in the muscle and we breath in less O2
