Explanation / Answer

From the given graph,

It is clear that as the oxygen concentration (partial pressure) increases, there is a concomitant increase in the hemoglobin saturation.

This is true for most of the enzyme-catalyzed reactions (or carrier proteins).

As the substrate concentration increases, the ratio of the substrate-bound enzyme (protein) increases.

At low partial pressure of oxygen, Hb saturation is low.

At high partial pressure of oxygen, Hb saturation is high.
