Q. Left shift of oxyhaemoglobin curve is noticed under

A) Normal temperature and pH
B) Low temperature and high pH
C) Low pH and high temperature
D) Low pH and low temperature
Explanation

Due to rise in temperature, decrease in pH and increase in carbon dioxide concentration, the rate of oxyhaemoglobin dissociation is also increased. So, the oxygen dissociation curve shifts to right, while left shift of oxyhaemoglobin curve is noticed under low carbon dioxide concentration, low temperature and high pH.
