10 Questions
According to Dalton's law, in a mixture of nonreacting gases, the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.
True
The equation for the reversible binding of oxygen to hemoglobin is represented as $Hb + O2 ightleftharpoons HbO2$ (oxyhemoglobin).
True
Carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the reaction $CO2 + H2O ightleftharpoons H2CO3 ightleftharpoons HCO3^- + H^+$.
True
The Bohr Effect describes the influence of pH, temperature, and CO2 concentration on hemoglobin affinity for oxygen.
True
Sea level atmospheric pressure is approximately 760 mmHg.
