Question

In examining the effects of pH on hemoglobin binding of oxygen, when the spectrophotometer gave you a high transmittance value ("color"), this indicated

a large amount of oxygen is bound to hemoglobin.

a small amount of oxygen is bound to hemoglobin.

no oxygen is bound to hemoglobin.

nothing with respect to the amount of oxygen-Hb binding.

a large amount of oxygen is bound to hemoglobin.

a small amount of oxygen is bound to hemoglobin.

no oxygen is bound to hemoglobin.

nothing with respect to the amount of oxygen-Hb binding.

Explanation / Answer

Ans = a large amount of oxygen is bound to hemoglobin.

high  transmittance value ("color") = a large amount of oxygen is bound to hemoglobin
