    O2 is carried in two forms in blood: dissolved and bound to haemoglobin. Dissolved O2 alone is inadequate to meet the metabolic demands of the tissues; so therefore a second form of O2, combined with haemoglobin, is needed. Oxygen is transported around the body in blood by the complex molecule haemoglobin which is a globular protein possess a central iron atom. When haemoglobin reacts with oxygen;…

    Based on the result, what is known now is when osmolarity is low, the hemolysis is high; while when osmolarity is high, the hemolysis is low. This supports the hypothesis if the erythrocytes were placed into a high osmotic solution, then the erythrocytes would have a lower hemolysis percentage. As shown in graph 1, when the erythrocytes were placed into the tube containing 250 to 390 osmolarity of solution, the erythrocytes results in below 26 hemolysis percentage. When the erythrocytes were placed into the tube containing 0 to 200 low osmolarity of solution, the hemolysis percentage is not low but instead hemolysis percentage is above 75. This indicates the data supports our hypothesis.…

    As seen by the equation, the reaction is affected by oxygen and H+ concentration. Exhibiting the effects described by Le Châtelier’s Principle, a high pH and PO2 will yield the greatest saturation of oxyhemoglobin, the form of hemoglobin when it is combined with oxygen. Conversely, a low pH and low PO2 will result in a low concentration of oxyhemoglobin. Therefore, a relatively high pH of about 7.4 is desired throughout most of the bloodstream to maximize carrying capacity. On the other end, in the delivery of oxygen to metabolically active tissue, a lower pH is desired. Thus the generation of acid during cellular respiration is beneficial to the unloading of oxyhemoglobin in the surrounding area. Like all previous oxygen transfers, delivery of oxygen from the blood to metabolically active tissues occurs because of partial pressure differences. The aerobic activity constantly occurring in the tissues uses the oxygen and decreases its partial pressure creating large pressure differences. The last major contributor to the transfer of oxygen is the structure of hemoglobin. The molecule is a tetrameric hemeprotein, which allows for one allosteric bonding site in each of the four monomeric parts. This means that oxygen does not bond at the active site of the protein, rather a heme group that contains a central iron ion, Fe2+ (Lefers). The advantages of hemoglobin are seen in the allosteric properties stemming from its quaternary structure, the arrangement of its subunits. As each oxygen molecule bonds to hemoglobin, the allosteric properties change hemoglobin’s structure meaning oxygen acts as a homotropic effector that increases hemoglobin’s affinity for other oxygen molecules. This gives the hemoglobin an extra push to bond with oxygen as it reaches saturation in the pulmonary capillaries. As hemoglobin releases oxygen in the active tissues, oxygen is released more readily…

    Our ability to fully oxygenate the blood depends on our ability to load up the hemoglobin with oxygen. Once the blood circulates to the tissues, the oxygen has to Unbind from the hemoglobin so it can diffuse into the tissues. So what makes the Oz bind to the hemoglobin in the lungs and then Unbind from it in the tissues? Well, the amount of O2 bound to hemoglobin depends on the PO2: where the PO2 is high, O2 will bind to the hemoglobin (Po2 is high in the lungs); where the Po2 is low, the hemoglobin will let go of the O2 (in the tissues, the tissues are using up the O2 and so Po2 there is low, - 40…
