I need answers to these 2 questions please. Thanks

1) About 20% of the carbon dioxide that is produced in the tissues (from burning fuel) is transported on the hemoglobin molecule.

A. How is carbon dioxide transported on hemoglobin?

B. How many carbon dioxide molecules can bind to each hemoglobin molecule?

C. How does the other 80% of carbon dioxide move from the tissue in the lungs?

2) During hyperventilation too much carbon dioxide leaves the lungs. What effect will this have on the function of hemoglobin? Will the hemoglobin deliver more or less oxygen to the tissues? Explain your answer.

Why is the pharmacological reactivation of fetal hemoglobin in apatient with sickle cell anemia often a successful treatment?

a. Fetal hemoglobin is better able to release carbon dioxide thanis adult hemoglobin.
b.Fetal hemoglobin binds more oxygen molecules than adulthemoglobin.
c. Fetal hemoglobin is better able to release oxygen than is adulthemoglobin.
d. Fetal hemoglobin has a higher affinity for carbon dioxide thandoes adult hemoglobin.
e. Fetal hemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen than doesadult hemoglobin.

Why do we need a protein (hemoglobin) to carry oxygen in the bloodstream from the lungs to the tissues but no protein is needed to transport carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs?
