If pH of blood is artificially changed to 8, what is most likely to happen

A

The tissues will not get oxygen as oxyhaemoglobin will not dissociate into oxygen and haemoglobin

B

The carbon dioxide will not be released from carbonic acid and carbonates

C

The carbonic anhydrase will be completely inhibited

D

It will generate carbon monoxide and the animal will die of carbon monoxide poisoning

The correct Answer is:
C
If pH of blood artificially change to 8 then dissociation of `CO_(2)` from Hb decreases as no free `H^(+)` available as carbonic anhydrase will be inhibited.
