MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

-1

Identify the wrong statement with reference to transport of oxygen.

Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of O₂

Partial pressure of CO₂ can interfere with O₂ binding with haemoglobin

Higher H⁺ conc. in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin

Low pCO₂ in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin
