    Identify the wrong statement with reference to transport of oxygen [NEET 2020]

    A) Partial pressure of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] can interfere with \[{{O}_{2}}\]binding with haemoglobin

    B) Higher \[{{H}^{+}}\]conc. in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin

    C) Low \[pC{{O}_{2}}\] in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin

    D) Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of \[{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [B] The correct option is [b] because higher \[{{H}^{+}}\] concentration favours the dissociation of oxygen from oxyhaemoglobin in tissues. In the alveoli, high \[p{{O}_{2}}\], low \[pC{{O}_{2}}\], lesser \[{{H}^{+}}\] concentration and lower temperature favour formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
