Assertion : Haemoglobin is an oxygen ca...

Assertion `:` Haemoglobin is an oxygen carrier.
Reason `:` Oxygen binds as `O_(2)` to `Fe` of haemoglobin.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the corret explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and the reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The assertion is correct that haemoglobin is an oxygen carrier and the reason that oxygen binds as `O_(2)^(-)` to Fe of haemoglobin is incorrect, because oxygen binds as `O_(2)` to Fe of haeme part.

In the following question a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as : Assertion (A): Smoking increases the carbon monoxide (CO) content in the blood which has greater affinity to haemoglobin than oxygen. Reason (R) CO forms a stable bond with haemoglobin and does not allow binding of oxygen. It reduces concentration of haem bound oxygen and causes oxygen deficiency in the body.

What is the shape of oxygen dissociation curve of haemoglobin?
