Which of the following statements about the binding of oxygen to deoxyhemoglobin is correct?

▸ The binding of oxygen to Fe2+ in the first heme pulls the iron ion into the porphyrin ring, decreasing the affinity for the second oxygen.

▸ The binding of oxygen to Fe2+ in the first heme pushes the iron ion out of the porphyrin ring, decreasing the affinity for the second oxygen.
