Question

Increased body temperature makes oxygenhaemoglobin dissociation curve to.

• A. Shift right
• B. Shift left
• C. Become parabolic
• D. Become hyperbolic

Answer 1

The correct option is A Shift right

At higher blood plasma temperatures, the hemoglobin becomes less likely to bind to oxygen and much more likely to unload to into the cells of the tissue. Therefore, as temperature increases, this shifts the entire oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve to the right.

Hence, the correct answer is (A)
