The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the dissociation of CO₂ from carbamino hemoglobin, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Carbamino Hemoglobin**: - Carbamino hemoglobin is formed when carbon dioxide (CO₂) binds to hemoglobin. This occurs primarily in the tissues where CO₂ concentration is high. 2. **Role of Partial Pressure**: - The dissociation of CO₂ from carbamino hemoglobin is influenced by the partial pressures of CO₂ and oxygen (O₂). 3. **Haldane Effect**: - The Haldane effect describes how the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin reduces its affinity for CO₂. When O₂ levels are high, hemoglobin tends to release CO₂ more readily. 4. **Conditions in the Lungs**: - In the lungs, the partial pressure of oxygen is high due to inhalation, while the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is low because CO₂ is being exhaled. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, when the partial pressure of oxygen is high and the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is low, CO₂ dissociates from carbamino hemoglobin. This is the condition that favors the unloading of CO₂ in the lungs. 6. **Final Answer**: - The correct option is: **Partial pressure of oxygen is high and partial pressure of carbon dioxide is low**.
