The production of carbon dioxide during respiration in aerobic tissues lowers the pH in erythrocytes, which in turn ________ the affinity of oxygen binding to hemoglobin.
A. Decreases
B. Increases
C. Equalizes
Ans) The correct option is A because the binding affinity of oxygen to hemoglobin is inversely proportional to the binding of H+ ions or (low pH in this case). We already know that more acidic the pH is, more the number of H+ ions and thus,this will result in decrease in the affinity of oxygen for hemoglobin.

1. 2. 3. T_Oxygen is required for aerobic respiration Carbon dioxide is considered a product of the chemical reaction for cellular respiration During cellular respiration, glucose is oxidized by combining with oxygen. The net ATP yield from fermentation is greater than from aerobic respiration. 5. An assumption made in our cellular respiration experiment is that the volume of air in the closed chamber will decrease proportionately to the amount of oxygen used for cellular respiration 6. The...
Which of the following are the final by-products of glucose oxidation during aerobic cellular respiration? a. ATP, heat, carbon dioxide, and water b. Both ATP and heat only c. Carbon dioxide and water only d. Heat only e. ATP only
QUESTION 19 During internal respiration, the oxygen diffuses from the blood vessels into the tissues because the concentration of oxygen is higher in the blood than the tissues of the body the concentration of oxygen is lower in the blood than the tissues of the body the concentration of carbon dioxide is higher in the blood than the tissues of the body the concentration of carbon dioxide is lower in the blood than the tissues of the body
1. Rotenone is an insecticide that kills by blocking the later stages of aerobic respiration. Which of the following statements about insects poisoned by rotenone is most likely to be true? A Rotenone does not affect any particular cell organelle. B Insects with chloroplasts will be poisoned by rotenone. C Insects poisoned with rotenone still produce a little ATP. D Rotenone will not kill insects that lack mitochondria. 2. During the day, there is an overall loss of certain gases...
Which would stimulate decreased respiration? Hypercapnia and hypoxia Decreased carbon dioxide and increased oxygen Increased carbon dioxide and decreased oxygen pH 7.4
Explain how pH, carbon dioxide, and 2,3-BPG promote the release of oxygen from hemoglobin. Why is it important to favor the release but not the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin?
A. In the chart above, where the solid line represents the
binding affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen with NO drug treatment.
Which curve above (dotted or dashed) represents
the affinity of hemoglobin of oxygen after drug treatment?
Explain.
B. How does the drug effect hemoglobin’s affinity for
O2 and how would this achieve the desired patient
result?
Increases Affinity, Decreases Affinity, No Change to Affinity?
Explain.
With hospital funding going down, local hospitals are looking for any way to cut...
