a. explains through the Bohr model of the atom why Fe2+ will bind O2 in heme but Fe3+ will not.
b. contributes to binding of O2 by hemoglobin in lungs and release of O2 from hemoglobin in tissues.
c. applies to both myoglobin and hemoglobin.
d. relates [H+] to [CO2].

Answer 1

b. contributes to binding of O2 by hemoglobin in lungs and release of O2 from hemoglobin in tissues.

Step-by-step explanation:
