What is more dangerous CO or CO2?
Carbon monoxide binds very strongly to the iron atoms in hemoglobin, the principal oxygen-carrying compound in blood. The affinity between CO and hemoglobin is 200 times stronger than the affinity between hemoglobin and oxygen. When CO binds to the hemoglobin it cannot be released nearly as readily as oxygen would be. The preferential binding of carbon monoxide to heme iron is the main reason for carbon
Which element would most likely have a positive electron affinity between Na Al Rb and Ar?
This element is rubidium.
What element has the most negative electron affinity Al Si S Cl?
The element with the greatest electronegativity in this scenario would be Cl or Chlorine.
Would oxygen production increase or decrease in a deforested area?
Oxygen production would decrease in a deforested area. Less trees = less oxygen being produced.
What is difference between inverse agonist and antagonist?
Hi friends before going to discuss about inverse agonist and antagonist i would like to introduce two terms namely AFFINITY & EFFICACY. affinity is the ability of a molecule to bind to the receptor and Efficacy is the ability to produce pharmacological response. Inverse agonist and antagonist both have affinity but differs in Efficacy aspect. Efficacy of inverse agonist is less than zero and efficacy of antagonist was zoro. Regards Jagadeesh Induri
Do grey catbird eat cats?
No. No bird can an animal/mammal larger than itself. It would be IMPOSSIBLE.
Would you expect nonmetals to have larger electron affinities than metals?
Yes. Non metals have larger electron affinity than metals as non metals accept electrons more easily than metals.
Why would flurine have the highest electron affinity?
Fluorine does not have the highest electron affinity it has highest electronegativity the highest electron affinity is for chlorine atom.

What effect does cigarette smoking have on oxygen delivery?
Since oxygen transport requires healthy lungs, the answer would be "Yes." Smoking releases carbon monoxide that has an affinity some 500 times greater than oxygen's for hemoglobin. This binds up the hemoglobin and prevents oxygen transport.
Do all animals use the same amount of oxygen?
Animals use the amount of oxygen relative to their size. An elephant would need lots of oxygen, as it has larger muscles. Whereas a mouse has considerably smaller muscles, so it would require less oxygen.
What does thermophilic mean?
"Philic" means "strongly attracted to or strong affinity for something".Thermophilic, would thus mean, a strong affinity for heat.
Why is a shark a fish and not a mammal?
fish. if its a mammal it would have either be warm blooded,have hair,fur,or wool,give live birth,and breathe wit lungs
What change in a human red blood cell would make it carry more oxygen?
If it had a larger life span
Would the volume of oxygen change if it were moved into a larger container?
It does not because change only occurs when temperature is involved.
Where is the talest mammal in the world?
The African giraffe would be the tallest mammal.
Where would have more dissolved oxygen a lake containing catfish or one containing trout and why?
i think trout (even if oxygen may not be able to dissolve!) because catfish are able to extract more oxygen because they are larger!
