which of the following statements is false? in its interaction with hemoglobin, oxygen is: i. reversibly bound. ii. a prosthetic group. iii. bound at the 6th coordination position of the fe(ii) ion in the heme. iv. homoallosteric effector. v. a ligand.



Answer :

The statement "In its interaction with hemoglobin, oxygen is a prosthetic group." (i) is false.

Hemoglobin heme groups can contain four oxygen molecules because each iron atom has the potential to bond to one oxygen molecule. Hemoglobin can transport a maximum of four oxygen molecules because to the capacity of the iron atom in each heme group to attach one oxygen molecule.

Some proteins require a special non-protein component known as a prosthetic group in order to function. It is strongly bound to proteins. An organic lipid, vitamin, sugar, or an inorganic metal ion are examples of natural forms that a prosthetic group can take.
