alleryWhich conditions favour oxyhaemoglobin formation?
AHigh pO2, low H+, low temperature
BLow pO2, low H+, low temperature
CHigh pO2, high H+, high temperature
DLow pO2, high H+, high temperature
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. High pO2, low H+, low temperature
In the alveoli high pO2 with low pCO2, low H+ and lower temperature all promote oxygen binding to haemoglobin.
