Carbon monoxide competes with 02 binding by hemoglobin, and exposure can lead to toxicity. Could carbon monoxide be considered an allosteric effector? O No since the it competes for the active site of the molecule O Yes because it will reduce 02 binding O Yes since the it competes for the active site of the molecule O No because it will reduce 02 binding and is a negative effector
