Question 1

homotropic

Answer 1

when the normal ligand and modulator are the same

Question 2

heterotropic

Answer 2

when the modulator is different from the normal ligand

Question 3

allosteric proteins have what(R-state) and what(T-state)

Answer 3

active and inactive

Question 4

what stabalizes the R state and what stabilizes the T state

Answer 4

allosteric activators and allosteric inhibitors

Question 5

the binding and release of O2 from Hem

Answer 5

are allosterically regulated

Question 6

binding the first O2 to hem causes

Answer 6

conformational changes making easier to bind more O2

Question 7

O2 binding promotes and stabalizes

Answer 7

the R state which has higher O2 affinity than the T state

Question 8

With T state hemoglobin the iron atom

Answer 8

is just outside the plane of the heme ring

Question 9

with the pressures of oxygen found in the lungs:

Answer 9

Hb will completely saturate with O2

Question 10

with the pressures of O2 found in the extremes of the body:

Answer 10

Hb will release approximately half of its O2

Question 11

P50 of hb matches

Answer 11

the pressures of O2 found in periphery
