question 88

Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes why oxygen is unloaded in tissue that is highly active?

• A) As temperature increases, the carbamino effect causes hemoglobin to release oxygen.
• B) As temperature increases, the Bohr effect causes hemoglobin to release oxygen.
• C) As temperature increases, the affinity for oxygen to hemoglobin increases, allowing more oxygen to be carried to the tissues.
• D) Highly active tissues produce more carbon dioxide, which competes for the heme groups in hemoglobin, thereby displacing oxygen.
• E) As temperature increases due to increased metabolism, the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is decreased.
