• In your own words (and approximately 250 words), explain why adult haemoglobin (HbA) is better suited for its job as the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells compared with myoglobin and the sickle cell form of haemoglobin (HbS). In addition, how does foetal haemoglobin (HbF) compare and why do we have this form of Hb??

Include in your answer:

• An introduction to haemoglobin (HbA) and the way in which its structure underlies its function.
• The way in which Mb differs from HbA and thus why it is unsuitable for the job HbA does.
• The way in which HbS differs from HbA, the consequences of this and thus why it is less suitable for the job HbA does.
• The way in which HbF differs from HbA and what its function is.
