Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the listed conditions (carbon dioxide, 2,3 BPG, and protons) enhance the delivery of oxygen by hemoglobin by promoting the release of oxygen in tissues where it is needed. This is part of the physiological mechanism that allows hemoglobin to release oxygen more readily in tissues that are metabolically active and producing more carbon dioxide and protons, and where the concentration of 2,3 BPG is higher.
