WGU BIOCHEM Module 3

Myoglobin and Hemoglobin

______________ is a protein consisting of a single subunit that contains a heme group with an iron atom bound. the iron atom binds one molecule of oxygen myoglobin
_______________ is a tetramer protein containing two alpha and two beta global subunits. hemoglobin
hemoglobin has __________ structure, while myoglobin has only ______________ structure because it has only one subunit quaternary, tertiary
each subunit contains a heme molecule and an iron atom, allowing each hemoglobin protein to bind _____ molecules of oxygen 4
hemoglobin structure is very sensitive to ____________ binding oxygen
oxygenated form relaxed or "R" state
deoxygenated form tense or "T" state
hemoglobin's function oxygen transport
# of subunits in myoglobin 1
# of subunits in hemoglobin 4
addition of ____________ alters the shape of the iron-heme complex, and therefore its absorption of light as indicated by its color change from dark purple to brilliant scarlet porphyrin
myoglobin binds oxygen reversibly in response to ____________________ oxygen concentration
myoglobin function bind and store oxygen for muscles to use when blood oxygen is low
bohr effect: at high ph hemoglobin has a _____ affinity for oxygen, while at low ph it has a _____ affinity for oxygen and tends to release it high; low
2,3-BPG binds to _____________ hemoglobin and stabilizes the _____ state of the protein deoxygenated; T
carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of carbon dioxide to _____________________ ions bicarbonate
hemoglobin acts as a buffer and controls the ph of the blood by binding to __________ H+ ions
in locations where the ph is low, hemoglobin will begin the _______ state, allowing it to ________ oxygen more efficiently T; release
carbon ___________ decreases hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen, while carbon _______________ increases it dioxide; monoxide
hemoglobin binds to carbon monoxide with a __________ affinity than oxygen and stabilizes the _______ state higher; R
when hemoglobin changes from T to R, it has __________ affinity for oxygen high
when hemoglobin changes from R to T, it has ________ affinity for oxygen low
______________ refers to hemoglobin structural changes that increase its affinity for oxygen cooperativity
when oxygen concentration is high, heme shape is ______________. when oxygen concentration is low, heme shape is _______________ planar; bent
relative to the lungs, the ph in the peripheral tissues is ________ because ______________ lower, the CO2 generated by metabolism is converted to bicarbonate, which releases protons (H+)
when the H+ ion concentration increases, the ph of the solution ____________ decreases
myoglobin has a _______ affinity for oxygen compared to hemoglobin higher
________________ has a signmoidal curve, where as ______________ has a hyperbolic curve hemoglobin; myoglobin
which atom helps oxygen bind to hemoglobin iron
the T state is favored by ___________pH and induces the ___________ of oxygen low; release
relative to the peripheral tissues, the ph in the lungs is ___________ because __________________ higher; the protons (H+) that were combined with hemoglobin quickly bind to bicarbonate to form CO2, and then is exhaled
carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin ______ times better than oxygen 200
when the blood ph is low, the heme is in ___________ shape when the blood ph is high, the heme is in ____________ shape bent; planar

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
