What effects might you expect in a mammal whose hemoglobin is mutated such that it lacks a Bohr effect? Be sure to provide a full explanation of these consequences.
Ans) Oxygen binding affinity of hemoglobin is inversely proportional to H+ ions (Higher the H+ ions,lower the pH). Thus, if H+ ion increases (or in low pH) ,oxygen binding affinity of hemoglobin will decrease and thus more PO2 (Partial pressure of oxygen) will be required for given % oxygen saturation of hemoglobin. This effect of pH on oxygen binding affinity of hemoglobin is referred to as Bohr effect.
If hemoglobin gets mutated such that it lacks a Bohr effect then, more PO2 will not be required and thus, all the four sites of hemoglobin will be occupied by oxygen molecules, which will result in high oxygen requirement by the body which can lead to hypoxemia also (abnormally low level of oxygen in the blood) if PO2 is less than 80mm Hg.

Discuss what you might expect to see if the organization’s strategic and process management thinking isn’t aligned, either because leadership is weak with respect to articulating the strategy, or processes are generally not managed in the organization or both. What might be the symptoms or problems you would expect to encounter under any of those scenarios? What would you, as an industrial engineer, suggest or attempt doing if such a situation were to present itself in your organization?
