  • question_answer
    When \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\]concentration in blood increases, breathing becomes:                

    A) shallower and slow        

    B)                                        there is no effect on breathing

    C)  slow and deep                                                

    D) faster and deeper

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    When \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\] concentration in blood increases breathing becomes faster and deeper. The effect of increased \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\] is to decrease the affinity of haemoglobin for \[{{O}_{2}}\]. Thus due to Bohr's effect the \[\text{C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\] released in respiring tissue accelerates the delivery of oxygen by faster and deeper breathing.
