Which of the following factors would increase the amount of oxygen released by hemoglobin from the bloodstream? A) decreased temperature and decreased pH B) decreased pH and increased temperature C) increased tissue PO₂ and increased pH. D) decreased tissue PO₂ and increased pH E) decreased temperature and increased pH

Decreased pH and increased temperature both contribute to the rightward shift of the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve, facilitating the release of oxygen to tissues. This is known as the Bohr effect, where a lower pH (more acidic environment) and higher temperatures promote oxygen release from hemoglobin.
