Assertion: hemoglobin's oxygen | /r/CapableOf | bind to hemoglobin
Facets:
value: with carbon monoxide in place
type: OTHER
Source sentences:
text: For example, when an oxygen atom binds to one of hemoglobin's four binding sites, the affinity to oxygen of the three remaining available binding sites increases; i.e. oxygen is more likely to bind to a hemoglobin bound to one oxygen than to an unbound hemoglobin.
text: Oxygen (O2) then binds with a hemoglobin
text: The oxygen bound to the hemoglobin is released into the blood's plasma and absorbed into the tissues, and the carbon dioxide in the tissues is bound to the hemoglobin.
text: With carbon monoxide in place, oxygen can’t bind to hemoglobin, which can lead to death.
