    Which of the following sets of conditions promotes the dissociation of oxygen from haemoglobin?

    A)  Low \[p{{O}_{2}}\], high \[pC{{O}_{2}}\], high \[{{H}^{+}}\]

    B)  High \[p{{O}_{2}}\], high \[pC{{O}_{2}}\], low \[{{H}^{+}}\]

    C)  High \[pC{{O}_{2}}\], low \[pC{{O}_{2}}\], low \[{{H}^{+}}\]

    D)  Low \[p{{O}_{2}}\], low \[pC{{O}_{2}}\], low \[{{H}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Low pH or high \[{{H}^{+}}\] concentration, high \[pC{{O}_{2}}\]concentration and low \[p{{O}_{2}}\] concentration favours \[{{O}_{2}}\] dissociation from haemoglobin in tissues and \[\therefore \] releases \[{{O}_{2}}\] in tissues. Conversely, a high pH, low \[pC{{O}_{2}}\] or low 2, 3 biphosphoglycerate level favours relaxed state of Hb and thereby binding of \[{{O}_{2}}\].
