Identify the wrong statement with reference to transport of oxygen.

Options

A. Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of `O_(2)`
B. Partial pressure of `CO_(2)` can interfere with `O_(2)` binding with haemoglobin
C. Higher `H^(+)` conc. in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin
D. Low `pCO_(2)` in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin

Answer

C

Explanation

Higher `H^(+)` concentration favours the dissociation of oxygen from oxyhaemoglobin in tissues. In the alveoli, high `pO_(2)` , low `pCO_(2)` , lesser `H^(+)` concentration and lower temperature favour formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
