MCQ
Mark the incorrect statement in context to $O_2$ binding to $Hb$:
  • Higher $pH.$
  • B
    Lower temperature.
  • C
    Lower $\ce{pCO_2}$
  • D
    Higher $\ce{pO_2}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
Higher $pH.$
Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is primarily related to partial pressure of $O_2$. In alveoli, high $pO$, low $\ce{pCO_2}$, less $H$ concentration and lower temperature facilitate formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
