Which of these is NOT a factor that increases the release of oxygen from hemoglobin? A)low PO₂ B)high PCO₂ C)high PO₂ D)high temperature

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The release of oxygen from hemoglobin is increased by low partial pressure of oxygen (low PO2), high partial pressure of carbon dioxide (high PCO2), and high temperature. High PO2 (option C) would actually decrease the release of oxygen from hemoglobin, as it indicates a higher oxygen saturation of hemoglobin, promoting oxygen binding rather than release.
