Answer for D please
The following figure depicts the oxygen binding curve for hemoglobin. Some textbooks use the symbol \( \theta \) whereas others use \( \mathrm{Y}_{02} \) on the formula for fractional saturation. \[ \theta \text { or } \mathrm{Y}_{\mathrm{O}_{2}}=\frac{\text { Sites occupied }}{\text { Total available sites }} \] a) What is plotted on the \( x \)-axis? Partial pressure of Oxygen b) What is plotted on the \( y \)-axis? \( \% \) of \( \mathrm{O}_{2} \) Sxturation in hemoglobin c) When \( \mathrm{Y}_{02}=1.0 \) how many oxygen molecules are bound to one hemoglobin molecule? 4 d) For the change in \( \mathrm{pO}_{2} \) on the \( \mathrm{x} \)-axis labeled "a" locate the corresponding change in \( \mathrm{Y}_{0} \). What is its label?
