explain in detail
Dear student,
In order for the organism to generate energy, oxygen is utilised to break down food molecules in an indirect manner. As a consequence of this process, carbon dioxide is produced, which is excreted from the body due to its toxic nature. The inhalation and exhalation of these gases are primarily controlled by the respiratory system and blood.
A. Haemoglobin transports CO2 as carbamino-hemoglobin. A significant component that could influence this binding is pO2. More CO2 is bound and transported when pO2 in the tissue is low and vice versa.
B. pO2 is 40 mm Hg in tissues, while pCO2 is 45 mm Hg. Therefore, this statement is false.
C. Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that catalyses the interconversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbonic acid and is found in high concentrations in RBCs.
D. The alveoli get around 4 ml of CO2 for every 100 ml of deoxygenated blood.
Therefore, the correct option is (1).
