The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Oxygen Dissociation Curve**: The oxygen dissociation curve represents the relationship between the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) and the percentage saturation of hemoglobin with oxygen. This curve is typically sigmoid in shape. 2. **Identifying Factors Affecting the Curve**: Several factors can influence the position of the oxygen dissociation curve, including: - Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) - Temperature - pH (H+ ion concentration) 3. **Effect of Increased pCO2**: When the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) rises, it leads to a decrease in pH (more acidic environment). This phenomenon is known as the Bohr effect, where increased pCO2 enhances the release of oxygen from hemoglobin. 4. **Direction of the Shift**: An increase in pCO2 causes the oxygen dissociation curve to shift to the right. This indicates that at a given pO2, hemoglobin will have a lower saturation with oxygen, meaning it releases oxygen more readily. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, when the partial pressure of CO2 rises, the oxygen dissociation curve of hemoglobin will shift towards the right. ### Final Answer The correct answer is: **Shift towards right**. ---
