If the O₂-binding/dissociation curves were plotted for adult hemoglobin under the following conditions, which curve would be to the right of all the others?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of 2,3-bisphosphoglyceric acid (BPG) shifts the binding/dissociation curve to the right, indicating a decreased affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. A lower pH also shifts the curve to the right. Therefore, option D (pH 7.2, much BPG) would result in the curve being the furthest right.
