Partial pressure of O, (mm Hg)
(b) Effect of pH
C because 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate is increased and stabilizes the T-state
B because high altitude does not affect oxygen binding to hemoglobin
A because the Bohr effect stabilizes the R-state
C because the Bohr effect stabilizes the T-state
A because 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate is increased and stabilizes the R-state
O, saturation of hemoglobin (%)
