How does hemoglobin cooperativity affect the binding of oxygen molecules in the bloodstream?

Hemoglobin cooperativity is a process where the binding of one oxygen molecule to a hemoglobin molecule makes it easier for other oxygen molecules to bind. This means that as more oxygen molecules bind to hemoglobin, the affinity for oxygen increases, allowing hemoglobin to efficiently transport oxygen in the bloodstream.
