With the use of site-directed mutagenesis, hemoglobin has been prepared in the imidazole ring from the histidine residue can be replaced by adding free imidazole in which the proximal histidine in both the α and β subunit have been replaced by glycine solution. Would you expect this modified hemoglobin to show cooperativity in oxygen binding? Why or why not?

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c
