The Bohr effect describes the effect of pH on hemoglobin's ability to bind oxygen.Oxygen binds more tightly at low pH and less tightly at higher pH values.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Bohr effect actually describes the opposite: oxygen binds more tightly to hemoglobin at higher pH values and less tightly at lower pH values. This is because a decrease in pH (which corresponds to an increase in hydrogen ion concentration) weakens hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen, facilitating oxygen release to tissues.
