H2O‚ and most of it is carried by Hb in the RBC’s. The interaction of iron ions with O2 binds O2 to the Hb‚ forming ‘oxyhaemoglobin’‚ (HbO2). This happens when the pressure (concentration) of O2 is very high for example‚ in the lungs. Each Hb can bind four O2 (one molecule per haem). The reverse occurs in the body cells‚ where O2 pressure (concentration) is low: increase in oxygen concentration Hb + O2

List the hematocrits for the healthy male (sample 1) and female (sample 2) living in Boston (at sea level) and indicate whether they are normal or whether they indicate anemia or polycythemia. 1. The hematocrit value for the healthy male: 48 2. The hematocrit value for the healthy female: 44 Both values are normal because they are between the normal ranges: for males between 42-52% and for females between 42-47%. 2. Describe the difference between the hematocrits

1. The MGI team process and root causes. The MGI team process seems ineffective because the team generated several conflicts and was unorganized because of the different perspectives‚ specifically those between the Russians and the HBS students. In addition‚ because each member had an ambiguous role‚ they needed to spend unproductive times on the meetings. According to Robbins and Judge (2012‚ p. 122)‚ by structuring teams‚ they can compete with each other more effectively and efficiently. Nevertheless

balanced to have a sustainable deficit. This is echoed by Morgan Stanley Chief Economist Stephen Roach who stated‚ “other countries must learn to grow the old fashioned way – drawing support from their home markets rather than free-riding on the US” (HBS p11). The US has run a current account deficit for over 30 years. This shows that deficits can be sustainable over time. However‚ as of 2005 and earlier‚ the US deficit has spiked to dangerous and unsustainable levels. As of 2008‚ the current account
