Question

Which of the following is an incorrect statement w.r.t. transport of oxygen?

• A. Formation of oxyhaemoglobin mainly depends on pO${}_2$
• B. High pCO${}_2$ at tissue level favours the dissociation of oxyhaemoglobin
• C. Low pH at alveolar level favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin
• D. Low pCO${}_2$ at alveolar level favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin

Answer 1

The correct option is C Low pH at alveolar level favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin

Low H${}^{+}$ ion concentration at alveolar level favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
