Effect of CO2 concentration on dissociation of oxyhaemoglobin is called
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Bohr's effect
The amount of carbon dioxide increases, more H+ are formed and the pH will decrease. Thus, a lower pH in the blood indicates an increased carbon dioxide concentration, which in turn is suggestive of a more active tissue, that requires more oxygen. According to Bohr, the lower pH will cause Hb to deliver more oxygen.
