n organs with high metabolic activity, the intracellular concentration of 2, 3 diphosphoglyceric acids (2,3 DPG) in red blood cells is increased (red blood cells in the capillaries supplying blood to the highly active organs have a higher concentration of 2,3 DPG). Draw the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curves (oxyhemoglobin percent saturation vs partial pressure for oxygen) for normal and higher 2,3 DPG concentrations and explain how increased intracellular concentration of 2,3 DPG affects oxyhemoglobin saturation and oxygen affinity.
