Below Is A Graph Showing Three Oxygen Saturation Curves Labeled A B And C The Vertical Axis Is The Hemoglobin Oxygen 1 (60.63 KiB) Viewed 17 times
Below is a graph showing three oxygen saturation curves labeled A, B and C. The vertical axis is the % hemoglobin oxygen saturation and the horizontal axis is the partial pressure of oxygen in the atmosphere. Curve A shows the oxygen saturation for blood that has a . Curve B shows the oxygen saturation for blood that has a . Curve C shows the oxygen saturation for blood that has a [[3]. If these curves represented blood that differed in how much 2,3-DPG was present, which blood would have the highest, middle and lowest concentrations of 2,3-DPG? (3 points) Curve A: Curve B: Curve C:
Haemoglobin oxygen saturation (%) 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 More basic pH More acidic pH A 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 Oxygen partial pressure (mmHg) Highest 2,3-DPG B C Middle or moderate 2,3-DPG Lowest 2,3-DPG Neutral pH
