Solution

The correct option is A Hb+O2HbO2 and HHbHb
The given structure is of alveolar tissue. External respiration takes place in the lungs. External respiration is the exchange of gases between the alveoli of the lungs and the blood. In this, external air is taken into the body in order to supply the lungs with oxygen and carbon dioxide is expelled out from the body. The chemical reaction of external respiration is
Hb + O2 → HbO2
HHb → H+ + Hb
HbCO2 → Hb + CO2
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
