Practice question from Breathing and Exchange of Gases (NEET Preparation Zoology), with the correct answer and a step-by-step solution.
hard · MCQ · Q-1189A9
A high concentration of carbon dioxide and high temperature in the tissue capillaries will result in:
- A.Shift of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the left
- B.Higher affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen
- C.Shift of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the rightCorrect answer
- D.Lower dissociation of oxyhemoglobin
Solution
High , high concentration (low pH), and high temperature are conditions prevalent in actively respiring tissues. These factors promote the dissociation of oxygen from oxyhemoglobin, shifting the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the right (Bohr effect).
