I need help with these questions please!!!  ???

 Hemoglobin Determination
1. Is the male with polycythemia (sample 4) deficient in hemoglobin? Why? ___No because it was above the normal range. _____________________________ ______
_____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ ___________
2. How did the hemoglobin levels for the female Olympic athlete (sample 5) compare with the hemoglobin levels for the healthy female (sample 2)? Is either person deficient in hemoglobin? How well did the results compare with your prediction?
_____________________________ _____________________________ _____________________________ ___________
3. List conditions in which hemoglobin levels would be expected to decrease. Provide reasons for the change when possible.

4. List conditions in which hemoglobin levels would be expected to increase. Provide reasons for the change when possible.

5. Describe the ratio of hematocrit to hemoglobin for the healthy male (sample 1) and female (sample 2). (A normal ratio of hematocrit to grams of hemoglobin is approximately 3:1.) Discuss any differences between the two individuals. ________

The hemoglobin levels for the female Olympic athlete were higher than the healthy female. Neither person is deficient in hemoglobin.

Both ratios are approximately 3:1 which is normal. The ratio for the female was 3.14:1, slightly higher than the male ratio of 3:1.
