With decrease in temperature, oxyhaemoglobin curve will become
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D More steep
The percentage of saturation of oxyhaemoglobin at various partial pressures is depicted in the curve.
Effect of temperature
At high temperatures
- Bond between oxygen and haemoglobin denatures.
- Curve shifts to the right denoting decreased affinity of oxygen to haemoglobin.
At low temperatures
- Increased affinity of oxygen to haemoglobin.
- Curve shifts to left
- Curve becomes steeper.
