What is true about RBCs in humans?
1. | They carry about 20-25 percent of |
2. | They transport 99.5 percent of |
3. | They transport about 80 percent oxygen only and the rest 20 percent of it is transported in a dissolved state in blood plasma |
4. | They do not carry at all |
Carbon dioxide is transported in blood by all the following mechanisms except:
1. bound to the protein portion of hemoglobin
2. bound to the iron atoms of hemoglobin
3. dissolved in plasma
4. as bicarbonate
The major mode of transport of carbon dioxide in human body is:
1. | in combination with hemoglobin |
2. | in dissolved state in plasma |
3. | as carboxyhemoglobin |
4. | as bicarbonate |
Statement I: | Each haemoglobin molecule can carry a maximum of four molecules of O2. |
Statement II: | Hemoglobin can bind to four molecules of CO2. |
The binding of oxygen with hemoglobin is primarily related to:
1. | Partial pressure of carbon dioxide |
2. | Partial pressure of oxygen |
3. | H+ ion concentration in body fluids |
4. | Presence of 2,3-DPG in erythrocytes |
I: | Oxygen binds with haemoglobin in an irreversible manner to form oxyhaemoglobin. |
II: | Each haemoglobin molecule can carry a maximum of four molecules of O2. |
III: | The binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is primarily related to the partial pressure of O2. |
Oxygen binding to haemoglobin in blood is
1. | directly proportional to the concentration of CO2 in the medium |
2. | inversely proportional to the concentration of CO2 in the medium |
3. | directly proportional to the concentration of CO in the medium |
4. | independent of the concentration of CO in the medium |
The oxy-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right in all the following conditions except:
1. Presence of 2,3-DPG | 2. Increased temperature |
3. Increased pH | 4. Increased carbon dioxide |
1. | Decreased oxygen affinity, indicating conditions such as a lower pH, a higher temperature, or increased levels of CO2. |
2. | Increased oxygen affinity, indicating conditions such as a higher pH, a lower temperature, or decreased levels of CO2. |
3. | Decreased temperature and CO2 levels, leading to a reduced ability of hemoglobin to release oxygen to tissues. |
4. | Increased hemoglobin saturation with oxygen at lower partial pressures, indicating hyperventilation. |
