3 Answers. In Great Britain today, the role of the queen is completely ceremonial. She (and whoever comes after her as monarch) has absolutely no actual power. In political science terms, she is the head of state for Great Britain but is not head of government.
Overview. 1  Oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve sigmoidal shape is characteristic of positive cooperativity binding of 1 O2 molecule to 1 subunit of deoxyhemoglobin increases affinity for O2 in adjacent subunits. P50 is PO2 at which hemoglobin is 50% saturated â P50 â â hemoglobin affinity for O2 50% saturation achieved at higher-than-normal P50.
Assigning oxygenated hemoglobin's oxidation state is difficult because oxyhemoglobin (Hb-O2), by experimental measurement, is diamagnetic (no net unpaired electrons), yet the lowest-energy (ground-state) electron configurations in both oxygen and iron are paramagnetic (suggesting at least one unpaired electron in the complex).
