    Mutated Haemoglobin

    • 683 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Carbon monoxide poisoning is fatal. Carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin at the same site as oxygen – the iron atom within the haem group – however carbon monoxide will bind with a strength 200 times that of oxygen. This means that if carbon monoxide is inhaled it was always displace oxygen within haemoglobin. If oxygen can no longer bind to haemoglobin then the respiring cells of the body can no longer receive oxygen and will eventually die. When carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin it causes…

    alkenes and alkynes. The difference between these three groups is in the bond types between the carbons. Alkanes form only single bonds, alkenes form double bonds, and in alkynes there is at least one triple bond. Alkanes are hydrocarbons which is only contain single covalent bonds between carbon atoms. Alkenes are known as saturated hydrocarbon. This is because they have the maximum of covalent bonds per carbon atom. They have C-C and…

    • 909 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The Carbon Cycle Addition of carbon to the atmosphere Respiration: Through respiration, carbon dioxide can be added to the atmosphere. Living organisms use respiration to turn food into usable energy. Aerobic respiration requires oxygen to take place, and produces carbon dioxide, releasing it into the air and atmosphere. The energy taken from the food molecules following digestion is used to fuel the organism, additionally when mixed with oxygen, releases carbon dioxide when exhaling.…

    CO2 therefore they will change to carbon monoxide. The oxygen reacts with H to produce H2O these can be defined by incompelete combustion. Use Markovnikov's Rule to explain why Propan-2-ol is formed during the reaction between propene and steam. (A.C. 2.3) According to his role if a HX compound was added to an unsymmetrical alkene the H will bond to the compound. As propane is an unsymmetrical alkene and water has Hydrogen OH-H,therefore the H will join the carbon that has more H. This process…
