Carbon monoxide binds to the same sites on hemoglobin

Reference no: EM13693689

Problem- Carbon monoxide (CO) binds to the same sites on hemoglobin (Hb) as oxygen (O2), but with higher affinity. An anemic individual, whose blood has only half the normal Hb content, may appear to be in good health. Yet a normal individual is incapacitated by exposure to sufficient carbon monoxide to occupy half his or her heme sites. Explain the difference.

Please answer only if you are 100% confident
