Oxygen binding to haemoglobin in blood is

A

Directly proportional to the concentration of `CO_(2)` in the medium

B

Inversely proportional to the concentration of `CO_(2)` in the medium

C

Directly proportional to the concentration of CO in the medium

D

Inversely proportional to the concentration of CO in the medium

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Binding of oxygen to hemoglobin to form Oxyhemoglobin is inversely proportional to the concentration of `CO_(2)` . As the binding affinity of `CO_(2)` with hemoglobin is 20 times higher than oxygen.
