What is the site of oxygen binding on hemoglobin?
You have Iron atoms in hemoglobin. This atom is the binding site for oxygen in case of hemoglobin.
What binding site does carbon monoxide has?
Carbon monoxide has a high affinity for the heme group in hemoglobin, binding to the iron atom in place of oxygen. This prevents oxygen from binding, reducing the blood's ability to transport oxygen to tissues, leading to tissue hypoxia.
In which form is oxygen transported in the body?
Oxygen is primarily transported in the body through binding to hemoglobin in red blood cells. Additionally, a small amount of oxygen is dissolved in the plasma.
What is it orderless colorless gas which binds preferentially with the same binding site on hemoglobin?
The orderless, colorless gas that binds preferentially with the same binding site on hemoglobin is carbon monoxide (CO). It competes with oxygen for binding to hemoglobin, forming carboxyhemoglobin, which reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen and can lead to oxygen deprivation in tissues. This property makes carbon monoxide particularly dangerous in enclosed spaces where it can accumulate.
Does carbon monoxide compete with oxygen for the same binding site?
Yes. Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin. This prevents the normal combination of oxygen with haemoglobin, thus depriving cells all round the body of the oxygen they need.
What is the function of the metal in a respiratory pigment?
The metal in a respiratory pigment serves as the central atom that binds to oxygen molecules, facilitating their transport in the bloodstream. In hemoglobin, for example, iron acts as the binding site for oxygen, allowing red blood cells to carry oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. This metal's oxidation state changes during oxygen binding and release, which is crucial for the pigment's function in gas exchange.
What is the bad effects of pollution on the respiratory system?
bad effect may block the site of binding of oxygen with blood
What is a binding site?
The binding site is where a specific binding molecule and a specific receptor protein can combine. This combination can only occur at the binding site. All in the 9th grade text book
What molecule in the blood cells oxygen?
Hemoglobin is the molecule in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues in the body. It does this by binding to oxygen in the lungs and releasing it in areas of the body where it is needed for cellular respiration.
Hemoglobin contains four atoms of iron that blind reversibly with?
oxygen molecules, allowing for the transport of oxygen in the bloodstream. This reversible binding is crucial for the efficient delivery of oxygen to tissues throughout the body.
What brings oxygen into the body other than your lungs?
Oxygen is also transported into the body through the bloodstream by binding to hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to tissues and organs where it is needed for various cellular processes.
What is an antigenic site?
For example in regards to influenza viruses, an antigenic site is the area on the protein spike protruding from their lipid bilayer that carries the receptor binding sites. This is supposed to trigger an immune response when your body detects these sites by binding antibodies to them.
