The correct Answer is:
To answer the question of when CO₂ dissociates from carbamino hemoglobin, we can break down the process into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Carbamino Hemoglobin**: - Carbamino hemoglobin is formed when carbon dioxide (CO₂) binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. This typically occurs in tissues where CO₂ concentration is high. 2. **Conditions for Dissociation**: - The dissociation of CO₂ from carbamino hemoglobin is influenced by the partial pressures of oxygen (pO₂) and carbon dioxide (pCO₂) in the surrounding environment. 3. **Role of Partial Pressures**: - In the lungs, the partial pressure of oxygen is high due to the fresh air being inhaled, while the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is low because CO₂ is being expelled from the bloodstream into the alveoli. 4. **Gas Exchange in the Lungs**: - When blood reaches the lungs, the high pO₂ promotes the release of CO₂ from carbamino hemoglobin. This is because gases move from areas of higher partial pressure to areas of lower partial pressure. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, CO₂ dissociates from carbamino hemoglobin when the partial pressure of oxygen (pO₂) is high and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂) is low, which occurs in the alveoli of the lungs. ### Final Answer: CO₂ dissociates from carbamino hemoglobin when the partial pressure of oxygen (pO₂) is high and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂) is low.
