Question

Explain Bhor's effect of oxygen transportation through blood.

Answer 1

The Bohr effect explains that as the partial partial pressure of carbondioxide in blood rises, the heamoglobin releases oxygen more quickly. This manifests in the Oxygen-Hemoglobin Dissociation Curve defined in Oxygen Transport as a right-wing change and produces increased oxygen unloading by hemoglobin.The existence of carbon dioxide helps release hemoglobin oxygen, which is called the Bohr effect. This can be seen by comparing the curves of oxygen dissociation when less carbon dioxide is present and more carbon dioxide is present in the blood.
