CO2 primarily binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, specifically at the amino groups of the globin chains, forming carbaminohemoglobin. Additionally, it can bind to water in the presence of carbonic anhydrase to form carbonic acid, which subsequently dissociates into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. This process plays a crucial role in the transport and regulation of CO2 in the blood.
What else can I help you with?
Do CO2 bind to hemoglobin in the same binding site as O2?
No, carbon dioxide (CO2) binds to a different site on hemoglobin than oxygen (O2). CO2 primarily binds to the amino groups of the protein portion of hemoglobin, forming carbaminohemoglobin. This is an important way that CO2 is transported in the blood.
What environmental conditions induce hemoglobin to bind to carbon dioxide?
Hemoglobin binds to carbon dioxide (CO2) more readily under conditions of high CO2 concentration, low pH (acidosis), and elevated temperature, which are often associated with active tissues. These conditions promote the formation of carbamino compounds, where CO2 binds to the amino groups of hemoglobin. Additionally, the Bohr effect explains how increased CO2 and hydrogen ion concentration reduce hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen, facilitating oxygen release and enhancing CO2 uptake.
Why do the red blood cells carry less oxygen in a smoker?
Red blood cells contain a protein known as haemoglobin (Hb) which is responsible for carrying about 98% of the body's oxygen (the rest is dissolved in the blood). However oxygen is not the only thing that binds to Hb. Both carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) can also bind to it as well (both of which are chemicals produced in cigarette smoke). The binding of CO2 to Hb is normal, and is how the majority of CO2 in the body is trasported to the lungs for exhalation (as it is a bi-product of energy production in the body). However, both CO2 and CO have higher affinities for Hb (i.e. they are more likely to bind to Hb) in the blood, and so when there is more CO and CO2 around, such as when smokers inhale cigarette smoke, the Hb is more likely to bind CO and CO2 than oxygen. CO2 is far more common than CO, and Hb's affinity for it is lower as well. Hb has an incredibly high affinity for CO which explains why it is so toxic to humans as the Hb it binds to is more or less left unusable in the body. This is my understanding of this all at a 2nd year university level of physiology, but I believe it more or less explains everything.
Which of these neurotransmitters does not bind to a plasma membrane receptor?
Nitric oxide does not bind to a plasma membrane receptor.
What is the molecule called that can bind to a receptor protein?
The molecule that can bind to a receptor protein is called a ligand.
Does CO2 bind at the same site on the hemoglobin molecule as O2 If not where does CO2 bind?
No. Carbon monoxide binds to the same site as oxygen, i.e. the central iron. Carbon dioxide binds to the globin molecule.
How many CO2 is found in hemoglobin?
At the end of each protein chain in a hemoglobin (4) there is a amine group for the CO2 to bind to...therefore it can hold 4.
When CO2 mixes with water, ____ is formed. This acid increases ___ ions in the water, which the bind to ____ (used by some marine life to make shells) to form?
When CO2 mixes with water, carbonic acid is formed, the axis then increases positive ions, which then bind with calcium to form calcium carbonate.
What is the problem with burning fossils?
It releases Carbon into the atmosphere, causing it to bind with oxygen to form CO2. An abundance of CO2 causes the earth to heat up unnaturally advancing climate change.
Do CO2 bind to hemoglobin in the same binding site as O2?
No, carbon dioxide (CO2) binds to a different site on hemoglobin than oxygen (O2). CO2 primarily binds to the amino groups of the protein portion of hemoglobin, forming carbaminohemoglobin. This is an important way that CO2 is transported in the blood.
How does carbodioxide moves from bloodstream to lungs?
compare to lungs the pH is more in cells.so that the myoglobin in blood have more affinity towards oxygen,SO THAT OXYGEN IS TRANSFERRED.AND THE CO2 PRODUCED IN THE CELLS WILL BIND WITH HAEMOGLOBIN AND WILL REACH LUNGS.THE INCREASED pH IN CELLS DUE TO THE CO2 WILL BIND WITH H2O PRESENT IN WATER WILL PRODUCE CARBONIC ACID.
What happens to rubisco when o2 concentration is much higher then CO2 concentration?
When the oxygen concentration is much higher than the carbon dioxide concentration, rubisco, the enzyme responsible for carbon fixation in photosynthesis, can unintentionally bind to oxygen instead of carbon dioxide. This results in a process called photorespiration, which can reduce the efficiency of photosynthesis and waste energy.

What is the noun form of the verb bind?
The word 'bind' is both a verb and a noun. The noun bind is a word for a problematic situation: "I'm in a bind."The noun forms for the verb to bind are binder and the gerund, binding.
