Select the favourable conditions required for the formation of oxyhaemoglobin at the alveoli.

Select the favourable conditions required for the formation of oxyhaemoglobin at the alveoli.

  1. High pO2, low pCO2, less H+, lower temperature
  2. Low pO2, high pCO2, more H+, higher temperature
  3. High pO2, high pCO2, less H+, higher temperature
  4. Low pO2, low pCO2, more H+, higher temperature

Solution

In the alveoli, where there is high pO2, low pCO2, lesser H+concentration, and lower temperature, the factors are all favourable for the formation of oxxhaemoglobin, whereas, in the tissues, where low pO2, high pCO2, high H+concentration and higher temperature exist, the conditions are favourable for dissociation of oxygen from the oxyhaemoglobin.
