Hemоglоbin is а tetrаmeric prоtein found in red blood cells thаt is essential for oxygen transport from the lungs to tissues throughout the body. It consists of two alpha (α) and two beta (β) subunits, each containing a heme group that binds oxygen. Hemoglobin exhibits cooperative binding, a phenomenon where the binding of one oxygen molecule to a heme group increases the affinity of the remaining heme groups for oxygen. This property is represented by a sigmoidal oxygen dissociation curve, contrasting with the hyperbolic curve observed with myoglobin, a monomeric oxygen-binding protein found in muscle tissue. Cooperative binding is critical for hemoglobin's function in oxygen delivery and uptake. In the lungs, where oxygen concentration is high, hemoglobin binds oxygen efficiently. As red blood cells circulate to tissues with lower oxygen concentrations, hemoglobin releases oxygen, aided by factors such as low pH and high levels of carbon dioxide, known as the Bohr effect. Additionally, 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG), a byproduct of glycolysis, binds to the deoxygenated form of hemoglobin, stabilizing it and promoting oxygen release. Alterations in hemoglobin's structure, such as those found in sickle cell disease (HbS), can significantly impact its function. In HbS, a single amino acid substitution (valine for glutamic acid) in the β-globin chain causes hemoglobin to polymerize under low oxygen conditions, deforming red blood cells into a sickle shape. These sickle-shaped cells can obstruct capillaries, reducing blood flow and causing pain, tissue damage, and anemia. Based on the passage, which of the following statements best explains the difference in the oxygen dissociation curves of hemoglobin and myoglobin?
