A) As temperature increases, the Bohr effect causes hemoglobin to release oxygen.
B) As temperature increases due to increased metabolism, the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is decreased.

D) As temperature increases, the affinity for oxygen to hemoglobin increases, allowing more oxygen to be carried to the tissues.
E) As temperature increases, the carbamino effect causes hemoglobin to release oxygen.
