Identify the wrong statement with reference to transport of oxygen.
- ABinding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of O
2
. - BPartial pressure of CO
2
can interfere with O

conc. in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin. - DLow pCO

in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
In the alveoli, factors that favour the formation of oxyhaemoglobin are:
High pO
2
.
Low pCO
2
.
Lesser H
+
concentration (Higher pH).
Lower temperature.
A higher H
+
concentration (acidic) favors the dissociation of oxygen from haemoglobin (Bohr effect), which typically happens at the tissues.
