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 ?

Oxyhaemoglobin can hold much less CO_2 in the form of carbaminohaemoglobin than what deoxyhaemoglobin can.

In the alveoli, dissociation of CO_(2) from carbamino haemoglobin occur, due to

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.

Statement 1 : About 70% of CO_(2) that enters RBCs changes into HCO_(3)^(-) for transport in plasma to the lungs where it reconverts into CO_(2) for elimination. Statement 2 : About 40% of CO_(2) that enters RBCs changes into carbaminohaemoglobin which releases O_(2) in the lungs.

O_(2) dissociation curve is:
