2. How is partial pressure measured?
- mPa (milipascals)
- kPa (kilo Pascals)
- Pa (Pascals)
- µPa (micropascals)
3. Why is confirmational change necessary?
- It prevents extra molecules from associating with the haem groups
- The next molecule will find it easier to associate with the haem groups
- The next two molecules will find it easier to associate with the haem groups
- All the other molecules will find it easier to associate with the haem groups
4. What is confirmational change?
- When the shape of the haemoglobin changes.
- When the shape of the haemoglobin changes in order to encourage oxygen molecules to associate with it
- When the shape of the haemoglobin changes once the first oxygen molecule has associated
- When the shape of the haemoglobin changes due to a change in the pO2
5. Where are oxygen molecules taken up by the haem group?
- In the tissue fluid
- In the plasma
- In the erythrocytes
- In the white blood cells
