Indicate the effect the following changes would have on oxygen release from Hb.
-the oxygen-Hb dissociation curve has shifted down and to the right
A)this change would increase the rate
B)this change would decrease the rate
C)this change would have no effect on the rate

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
