Describe how 02 and CO2 are transported through the body.

How does the lowering HCO3− concentrations inside redblood cells affect CO2 transport?

Write the mechanism for the transport of CO2 from cellular respiration sites to the lungs.Describe the process including where various steps take place.

Each of the following statements briefly describes one of Hb an allosteric interactions. Which of the statements below are false? A drop in the [H+] of blood plasma would lead to a decrease Hb affinity for O₂. An increase in the partial pressure of CO₂ in the tissues would lead to a decrease Hb affinity for O₂- If you inhaled CO for an extended period of time, at partial pressures 1000 fold higher than normal indoor atmospheric pressure, your body would have a difficult time delivering oxygen to your tissues. When the partial pressure of oxygen is low within the atmosphere, your body responds by increasing the biological activity of Hb's negative effectors.
