Review Questions How are CO 2 and NO processed and transported? How are myoglobin and hemoglobin similar and different? What portion of hemoglobin is involved in small molecule transport? What allosteric effectors bind hemoglobin? How do allosteric effectors produce left and right shifts of the hemoglobin-O 2 binding curves? How is heme synthesized? How is heme synthesis regulated?
