4.Which of these type of curve shows the oxygen binding capacity of hemoglobin?
A.Hyperbolic curve
B.Sigmoidal curve
C.Exponential curve
D.Linear curve
Answer:  Option  B
Explanation:

A single molecule of hemoglobin binds up to four molecules of oxygen (Hb+4O2 = Hb(O2)4). The sigmoidal curve shows the cooperativity in binding of oxygen and hemoglobin. This curve is a plot between the fractional saturation of hemoglobin versus the partial pressure of oxygen.
