Q):
a)Identify the graph?
b)What is the normal shape of this graph?
c)At which pO2, 30% of Hb saturated with oxygen?
d)What is the significance of this graph?
Dear student,
a- The graph shows oxygen dissociation curve.
b- The normal shape of the graph is sigmoid.
c- From the graph it is clear that when partial pressure of oxygen is 20 mm of Hg, 30% of Haemoglobin is saturated with oxygen.
d- This graph is useful in studying effects of factors like pCO2 , H+ concentration etc. on binding of O2 with haemoglobin.
Regards.
