Which of these factors will NOT result in lower oxygen saturation of haemoglobin
A)an increase in PO₂
B)an increase in temperature
C)an increase in PCO₂
D)an increase in acidity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in PO₂ will result in higher oxygen saturation of hemoglobin due to the increased availability of oxygen. On the other hand, options B, C, and D will all result in lower oxygen saturation of hemoglobin because they affect the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. An increase in temperature, PCO₂, or acidity will cause hemoglobin to release oxygen more readily, leading to lower oxygen saturation.
