What is carbamino -hemoglobin?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Definition of Carbaminohemoglobin**: Carbaminohemoglobin is a compound formed when carbon dioxide (CO2) binds to hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells. 2. **Formation Process**: The formation of carbaminohemoglobin occurs when carbon dioxide interacts with the amino groups of the hemoglobin protein. This interaction is a chemical reaction where CO2 attaches to hemoglobin. 3. **Role of Hemoglobin**: Hemoglobin's primary function is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues. However, it also plays a role in transporting carbon dioxide back to the lungs. ...

How much percentage of CO_(2) is carried by haemoglobin as carbamino-haemoglobin?

CO_(2) dissocated from carbamino haemoglobin when

Dissociation of CO_(2) from carbamino-haemoglobin takes place when:

Assertion :- In the alveoli, dissociation of CO_(2) from carbamino-haemoglobin takes place Reason :- In the alveoli P_(CO_(2)) is low and P_(O_(2)) is high.

[A] : Role of RBC' In CO_2 transport Is primarily to form HCO_3 - for carriage in plasma and re- convert them to CO_2 . [R]: About 42% CO_2 is carried in the form of carbamino haemoglzobin which breaks down «in the lungs to release O_2 again

Read the following statement . a) High H^+ concentration and higher temperature are favourable for dissociation of oxygen from oxyhaemoglobin. b) Partial pressure of oxygen in alveoli is higher than in tissue . c) The maximum volume of air a person can breather in after a forced expiration is vital capacity. d) In alveoli PCO_2 low and PO_2 high are for dissociation of CO_2 from carbamino haemoglobin . How many of the above statement are true ?
