Develop an understanding of the physiological significance of the Bohr effect.Compile and present the appropriate information for a Discussion section of a scientific manuscript.

BIO271 Pre-lab 2 assignment
Haemoglobin oxygen equilibrium curve – Bohr effect
Learning outcomes
Students will:
• critically analyze a set of data.
• observe the effects of differing partial pressures of oxygen on haemoglobin oxygen
saturation.
• assess the effects of differing partial pressures of carbon dioxide on the ability of
oxygen 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, and
describe their function in acid-base balance.
• compile and present the appropriate information for a Discussion section of a
scientific manuscript.
o become aware of the conventions of scientific writing.
o become aware of their individual writing process and
improve writing through revision based upon formative feedback.
o practice writing clearly, concisely, and precisely
