Q. Identify the wrong statement with reference to transport of oxygen.
A) Partial pressure of $CO_2$ can interfere with $O_2$ binding with haemoglobin.
B) Higher $H^+$ conc. in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
C) Low $pCO_2$ in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
D) Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of $O_2$.
Explanation
[Solution] Lower (not higher) $H^+$ concentration in the alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin. Answer (2).
