Answers 1a) On graph paper 1b) At molecular level‚ Haemoglobin is a protein made of four subunits bound together. Each of the subunits consists of a molecular group known as ‘heme’ and a polypeptide attached to the ‘heme’. The ‘heme’ group contains one atom of iron (Fe²+) and it is this iron that the oxygen molecule combines itself to. As there are four of the iron molecules in the haemoglobin this shows that a maximum of four oxygen molecules can be carried by the haemoglobin at anytime. For simplicity

Mealworms go through a similar life cycle to that of a butterfly in that they go through 4 different maturation stages during their life. These cycles in order are egg‚ larvae‚ pupae‚ and finally the adult stage. The freshly hatched mealworms have one major goal‚ to eat. The larval mealworms are a caramel color and are very active. Mealworms eat plant matter. As the larvae get larger they will molt multiple times throughout the larval stage. The mealworms will continue to eat until they have stored

It is essential that nurses are able to recognise and assess symptoms of respiratory dysfunction to provide early‚ effective and appropriate interventions to improve patient outcomes. It is necessary for a nurse to have a comprehensive knowledge base of the anatomy and physiological process of a healthy functioning pulmonary system‚ in order to carry out a respiratory assessment (Jenkins‚ 2003‚ p124

Respiratory System Respiration: The primary function of the respiratory system is to obtain oxygen gas for cell metabolism and remove carbon dioxide waste. Describe each of the following general processes of respiration. Ventilation- air is moved into and out of the lungs so the gases there are continuously changed and refreshed external respiration- oxygen diffuses from the lungs to the blood‚ and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood to the lungs gas transport- oxygen is transported
