BioChem C785 - WGU - Module 3 - all questions Hb (hemoglobin) binds to CO (carbon monoxide) with a higher affinity than oxygen and stabilizes the R (relaxed) state – True When hemoglobin change s fr... om the T to the R, it has a high affinity for oxygen – True When hemoglobin changes from the R to T, it has a low affinity for oxygen – True Cooperatively refers to – structural changes that increases the affinity for oxygen in hemoglobin When the oxygen concentration is high, the heme shape is planar. When the oxygen concentration is low, the heme shape is bent shape. – True The Bohr effect is a relationship between hemoglobin's oxygen binding behavior in conjunction with the pH of the surroundings. When the pH is low, hemoglobin has low affinity for oxygen and releases oxygen [Show More]
