WGU Biochemistry OA Exam |Questions with 100% Correct Answers
How do rising blood CO2 levels promote the deoxygenated confirmation of
hemoglobin? - ✔ ✔ CO2 reacts with H2O in the blood & decreases pH,
which promotes the dome confirmation of the heme group.
How does hemoglobin keep blood pH neutral during exercise?
- ✔ ✔ Deoxygenated hemoglobin binds to excess H+

with oxygen increases? - ✔ ✔ The concentration of hydrogen ions decreases.
Translation - ✔ ✔ -2nd step

corresponding uncatalyzed reactions? - ✔ ✔ They are 10^6 to 10^12 times faster.
Which change will likely increase the activity of an enzyme currently at
optimal conditions? - ✔ ✔ Significantly increasing substrate concentrations
What occurs immediately after the appropriate molecule enters the active site of
