In deep sea vents, you find a new species of worm that has a hemoglobin-like molecule with several important changes. They are: 1) There are no histidines in the molecule; all seemingly have been replaced by cysteine, and 2) instead of being a tetramer, this hemoglobin is a heptamer. From these data, please answer the following two questions.4
29) Which of the following statements about the oxygen saturation of this new hemoglobin is true?
A) The saturation curve will be steeper than human hemoglobin
B) The saturation curve will not be as steep as human hemoglobin
C) The saturation curve should look like human hemoglobin
D) The saturation curve should look like human myoglobin
30) You find the Bohr effect still applies to this new hemoglobin. Which of the following is most likely the internal pH of these worms?
A) 3.5
B) 6.0
C) 8.5
D) All of these answers are reasonable
E) This scenario contains no information for me to even make a stab at answering this ludicrous question
