The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is true among the given options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the First Statement:** - The statement claims that hydrogen ions released from carbonic acid combine with hemoglobin to form hemoglobinic acid. - **Explanation:** Carbonic acid (H2CO3) dissociates into bicarbonate (HCO3-) and hydrogen ions (H+). The H+ ions can bind to hemoglobin, forming hemoglobinic acid (HbH). This statement is **correct**. 2. **Analyze the Second Statement:** - The statement claims that oxyhemoglobin of erythrocytes is alkaline. - **Explanation:** Oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) is formed when oxygen binds to hemoglobin. It is known to be **acidic** in nature, not alkaline. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Analyze the Third Statement:** - The statement claims that more than 70% of carbon dioxide is transferred from tissue to lungs as carbamino compounds. - **Explanation:** While carbon dioxide does form carbamino compounds with hemoglobin, only about **30%** of carbon dioxide is transported this way. The majority (over 70%) is transported as bicarbonate ions (HCO3-). Thus, this statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Analyze the Fourth Statement:** - The statement claims that in a healthy person, hemoglobin content is more than 25 grams per 100 ml. - **Explanation:** In healthy individuals, hemoglobin levels typically range from **12 to 20 grams per 100 ml** of blood. Therefore, this statement is also **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: - The only correct statement among the options provided is the **first statement** about hydrogen ions combining with hemoglobin to form hemoglobinic acid. ### Final Answer: - **The true statement is:** Hydrogen ions released from carbonic acid combine with hemoglobin to form hemoglobinic acid. ---
