1. Assess the effects of differing partial pressures of carbon dioxide
Haemoglobin oxygen equilibrium curve – Bohr effectcritically analyze a set of data.•
observe the effects of differing partial pressures of oxygen on haemoglobin
oxygensaturation.• assess the effects of differing partial pressures of carbon dioxide on the
ability ofoxygen to bind to haemoglobin.• develop an understanding of the physiological
significance of the Bohr effect.• consider the importance of buffers (carbonic acid-
bicarbonate) in the blood, anddescribe their function in acid-base balance.• compile and
present the appropriate information for a Discussion section of ascientific manuscript.o
become aware of the conventions of scientific writing.o become aware (i.e. metacognition)
of their individual writing process andimprove writing through revision based upon
formative feedback.o practice writing clearly, concisely, and precisely.Preparation:Moyes

read the materials in the Pre-lab 2 manual and this Pre-lab 2 assignment or this assignment,
at the minimum, you should include the following (not necessarily inthis order)*:1. State
whether your results support your hypothesis/purpose.– Were they expected and why?2.
Briefly review the most important findings (in order of importance).– Emphasize what is
important, new, or different– Present results both within species and between species–
Comment on PCO2 = 40 mmHg and PCO2 = 80 mmHg3. Explanations and speculations of
your findings, both expected and unexpected.– Focus on one for expected findings and one
for unexpected findings.4. What is a physiological explanation for your results?5. What is a
physiological implication/consequence of your findings OR how mightthis affect the animal
during its daily activities. Consider relating to the Bohr effect.6. Were there any limitations
to the study?– Note that this does not refer to # of replicates or human error etc.7. Suggest
appropriate future studies leading on from your findings or yourlimitations.3 BIO271 Pre-
lab 2 assignment 2023– Focus on one only.8. Conclusions– What is significant about your
study?
