(Solved): 13. Binding of one molecule of oxygen to hemoglobin enhancing further binding of oxygen to hemoglob ...
13. Binding of one molecule of oxygen to hemoglobin enhancing further binding of oxygen to hemoglobin is called A) homologous binding B) cooperativity C) fractional saturation D) favoritism E) none of the above 14. How does binding of a ligand to a cell surface receptor lead to effects inside of a cell? A) transport of the ligand into the cell B) creating an electrical signal that triggers other proteins C) conformation change of the protein D) release of bound signaling ions inside of the receptor E) none of the above. 15. Which of the following fibers is correctly paired with the protein that forms the fiber? A) microfilaments: actin B) microtubule: collagen C) extracellular support fibers: tubulin D) intermediate filaments: myoglobin E) all of the above
13) Hemoglobin can bind to four oxygen molecules. Binding of one oxygen to the hemoglobin causes certain conformational or structural change that increases affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. This is called cooperative binding where binding of one lig
