A shift to the right in the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve has what effect on the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shifts to the left cause oxygen to be more tightly bound to hemoglobin and make unloading of oxygen at the tissues more difficult, whereas shifts to the right have the opposite effect, resulting in decreased oxygen affinity for hemoglobin and allowing easier unloading of oxygen at the tissues.
