How Does Blood Doping Enhance Oxygen Uptake

question 16

Multiple Choice

How does blood doping enhance oxygen uptake?

• A) Breathing is faster, so there is more oxygen available.
• B) It produces more carbonic acid more quickly, so the brain increases oxygen uptake faster than it normally would.
• C) It allows hemoglobin to carry more molecules of oxygen than normal.
• D) More red blood cells mean more hemoglobin, so more oxygen can be moved.
• E) It doesn't enhance uptake, but it decreases oxygen demand by making cells more efficient.
