Question

Sketch and explain oxygenation curves for haemoglobin and myoglobin

Answer 1

Hemoglobin's oxygen-binding curve forms in the shape of a sigmoidal curve. This is due to the cooperativity of the hemoglobin. As hemoglobin travels from the lungs to the tissues, the pH value of its surroundings decrease, and the amount of CO2 that it reacts with increases.

The graph is parabola
