Affinity for oxygen | Haemoglobin (Hb) with a high affinity takes up oxygen easily and releases it less readily. Hb with a low affinity takes up oxygen less easily but releases it more rapidly |
Associating | The process by which Hb combines with oxygen (in the lungs) |
Dissociating | The process by which Hb releases oxygen (into the tissues) |
Oxygen Dissociation curve | The s-shaped curve shown by how Hb binds oxygen (first molecule is hard to load, next three load easily |
Starch | Storage molecule in plants, it is coiled, insoluble and can be hydrolysed to form α-glucose |
Glycogen | Storage molecule in animals, which has short chains so it can be readily hydrolysed to α-glucose |
Cellulose | Parallel chains of β-glucose joined by hydrogen bonds, forms myofibrils for strength |
Chloroplasts | Organelle in plant cells containing grana, thylakoids and stroma. Photosynthesis occurs here. |
