select all statements that correctly describe hemoglobin and myoglobin structure.
Hemoglobin is a heterotetramer, whereas myoglobin is a monomer.
By itself, heme is not a good oxygen carrier. It must be part of a larger protein to prevent
oxidation of the iron.
Each hemoglobin or myoglobin molecule can bind four oxygen molecules.
Molecular oxygen binds reversibly to the Fe(II)Fe(II) atom in heme.
The heme prosthetic group is entirely buried within myoglobin.
Each iron atom can form six coordination bonds. Two of these bonds are formed between iron
and oxygen.
Both hemoglobin and myoglobin contain a prosthetic group called heme, which contains a
central iron (Fe)(Fe) atom..
