In active cells, pO_2 may be 10 torr at the cell surface and 1 torr at the mitochondria (the organelles where oxidative metabolism occurs).
A) How does myoglobin (p_50 = 2.8 torr, where p_50 is the partial pressure of oxygen required to 50% saturate myoglobin) facilitate the diffusion of O_2 through these cells? (Myoglobin does not just pick up the O_2 at the cell membrane and carry it over to the mitochondrial membrane.)
B) Active muscles consume O_2 much faster than do other tissues. Would myoglobin also be an effective O_2 - transport protein in other tissues? Explain.

Protein synthesis actually begins in the nucleus when transcribes a single gene on the dna molecule is copied. the process of copying this gene is called this copy is known as and contains the protein building instructions. this copy is sent out into the cytoplasm to the part of the cell known as the the of the ribosome will join together to form a functional ribosome when they attach to the mrna. as the mrna moves through the ribosome, the message is read by transfer rna brings the correct back to the ribosome. the amino acids are placed in the correct order and are hitched together by
