Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Smokers, depending on how much and what they smoke (e.g., cigarettes, cigars), may have as much as 20 carboxyhemoglobin in their blood. The concentration of carboxyhemoglobin in normal blood varies depending on the environment in which a person lives (more in an urban environment, for example, than in a rural location), but it is generally less than 1. Levels greater than 50 cause coma and death. The addition of hydrogen sulfide to hemoglobin forms sulfhemoglobin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Hb F is the major hemoglobin during fetal life and at birth, but its concentration decreases after birth so that by age 6 months it should be less than 1 of the total hemoglobin. It is distributed unevenly in the RBCs of an adult (F cells), meaning that it is only found in some RBCs (not in all of them). It has a high oxygen affinity to enable it to extract oxygen from the maternal circulation.
