Question

Given a partial pressure of oxygen in the tissues of 20 torr, calculate the percentage of oxygen released by hemoglobin and myoglobin, and assess their effectiveness as oxygen transporters.

Accepted Answer

Hemoglobin releases 66% of its oxygen, while myoglobin releases only 4%, making hemoglobin more effective.

Answer

Both hemoglobin and myoglobin release 4% of their oxygen, making them equally ineffective.
