Hemoglobin is fully saturated with oxygen

b)

There is a reduction of hemoglobin affinity towards oxygen

The percentage of oxygen saturation in hemoglobin is about 18%

d)

It is shown by the steepest part of the curve

4.

What can be concluded when the curve of ODC is displaced more to the right?

a)

The less readily the hemoglobin to pick up oxygen

b)

The more readily the hemoglobin to pick up oxygen

c)

The easier the hemoglobin to release oxygen

d)

The harder the hemoglobin to release oxygen

5.

a)

The less readily the hemoglobin to pick up oxygen

b)

The more readily the hemoglobin to pick up oxygen

c)

The easier the hemoglobin to release oxygen

7.

The ODC of myoglobin has (a)   shape.

8.

On the other hand, the ODC of hemoglobin has (a)   shape.

9.

What can be analysed from the ODC of myoglobin vs hemoglobin in term of the dissociation of oxyhemoglobin?

a)

Only at very low partial pressure of oxygen that the oxygen will be released from myoglobin compared to hemoglobin

a)

Myoglobin can supply the energy needed while flying

b)

Myoglobin can supply oxygen to the muscular tissues when the birds are flying in areas with low oxygen partial pressures
