Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these factors affect the release of oxygen from hemoglobin. The partial pressure of oxygen influences hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen. Increased temperature, acidity (lower pH), and higher levels of carbon dioxide in tissues all promote the release of oxygen from hemoglobin, a phenomenon known as the Bohr effect.
