Polypeptide chains coiled into helix

Question 1

Primary structure of haemoglobin

Answer 1

4 polypeptide chains

Question 2

Tertiary structure of haemoglobin

Answer 2

Each polypeptide chain is folded into a specific shape allowing it to carry oxygen

Question 3

Quaternary structure of haemoglobin

Answer 3

4 polypeptide chains link together each polypeptide having a haem group

Question 4

What is the role of haemoglobin

Answer 4

Found in red blood cells

It carries oxygen

Question 5

How is haemoglobin efficient to carry oxygen

Answer 5

• readily loads with oxygen at exchange surface

* readily unloads from oxygen at tissues

Question 6

When haemoglobin is oxygen bound

Answer 6

OXYHAEMOGLOBIN

Question 7

where does haemoglobin LOAD/ASSOCIATE?

Answer 7

@ LUNGS (combines+picks up)

Question 8

Where does haemoglobin UNLOAD/DISSOCIATE

Answer 8

@ TISSUES (releases oxygen)
