The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the dissociation of CO₂ from carbamino hemoglobin in the alveoli, we can break down the process step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hemoglobin's Role**: - Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that binds to both oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). When it binds to CO₂, it forms a compound known as carbamino hemoglobin. 2. **Conditions in the Alveoli**: - In the alveoli of the lungs, the concentration of gases varies. The partial pressure of oxygen (pO₂) is high because oxygen from the air enters the alveoli. - Conversely, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂) is low in the alveoli compared to the pO₂. 3. **Gas Exchange Mechanism**: - The binding and release of gases by hemoglobin depend on their partial pressures. Hemoglobin will release CO₂ when the pCO₂ is low and will bind to O₂ when the pO₂ is high. - In the alveoli, the high pO₂ promotes the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin, while the low pCO₂ facilitates the release of CO₂ from carbamino hemoglobin. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the dissociation of CO₂ from carbamino hemoglobin occurs due to the low partial pressure of carbon dioxide and the high partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli. ### Final Answer: The dissociation of CO₂ from carbamino hemoglobin occurs due to the **low partial pressure of carbon dioxide and high partial pressure of oxygen** in the alveoli. ---
