The curves in the graph that follows show the degree of saturation of hemoglobin and myoglobin as a function of the pressure of oxygen. Explain how these two compounds are each best suited to their specific roles, with hemoglobin transferring oxygen from the lungs to the blood and myoglobin transfer-ring oxygen from the blood to the other tissues.
