Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in the blood more readily than oxygen, resulting in the formation of carboxyhemoglobin. This decreases the amount of available oxygen for tissues and organs, leading to hypoxia and eventually death. It also creates a cherry-red color in the blood and a patchy, pinkish color in the lividity of the corpse.
