Identify the wrong statement with reference to transport of oxygen.
Partial pressure of CO can interfere with O binding with haemoglobin.
Higher H concentration in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
Low pCO in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.
Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of O
To solve this problem, we need to analyze each statement regarding the transport of oxygen and identify the incorrect one. Let's evaluate each option:Option 1: Partial pressure of CO can interfere with O binding with haemoglobin. - This statement is correct. The presence of CO affects the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen, a phenomenon known as the Bohr effect.Option 2: Higher H concentration in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin. - This statement is incorrect. Higher H concentration (lower pH) actually reduces the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen, promoting oxygen release rather than binding.Option 3: Low pCO in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin. - This statement is correct. Low partial pressure of CO in the alveoli increases the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen, facilitating the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.Option 4: Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is mainly related to partial pressure of O - This statement is correct. The primary factor affecting oxygen binding to haemoglobin is the partial pressure of oxygen (pO).Therefore, the incorrect statement is Option 2, which states that higher H concentration in alveoli favours the formation of oxyhaemoglobin.Thus, the correct answer is Option 2.
