question 47

Multiple Choice

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

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