    What will be the effect of increased concentration of \[C{{O}_{2}}\]  in blood on normal breathing?

    A) Remain unaffected

    B) Slow and shallower

    C) Deep breathing and rapidly

    D) Deep breathing and normally

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    When concentration of \[C{{O}_{2}}\]  increases in blood, the breathing rate increase rapidly and will be deep. The effect of increased \[C{{O}_{2}}\]  is to decrease the affinity of hemoglobin for \[{{O}_{2}}\]  Thus, due to Bohr's effect the \[C{{O}_{2}}\]  released in respiring tissue accelerates the delivery of oxygen by faster and deeper breathing.
