Question

Identify the wrong statement with reference to transport of oxygen

• A. Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of $O_2$
• B. Partial pressure of $CO_2$ can interfere with $O_2$ binding with haemoglobin.
• C. Higher $H^+$ cone, in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
• D. Low $pCO_2$ in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Higher $H^+$ cone, in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.

Answer 2

Lower hydrogen ion concentration in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
