Mass Transport in Animals
  • Red blood cells transport oxygen using the protein haemoglobin
Picture
  • Haemoglobin is made up of four polypeptide chains, each containing a prosthetic haem group. Each haem group binds one oxygen molecule
  • Binding of the first O2 molecule causes a conformational change in the haemoglobin, making the haem groups more accessible to oxygen.
  • Bohr affect- haemoglobin’s oxygen binding affinity is inversely related to the concentration of carbon dioxide, causing the oxygen dissociation curve to shift
  • ​The cardiac cycle is the sequence of events that occur within one full beat of the heart.
