There are many situations where hemoglobin binding is different than what we consider "normal". This can occur in fetal hemoglobin, chronic exposure to altitude, exercise training and many other examples. If curve B is considered "normal", how is the curve A different than B in regards to oxygen? a. curve A is less saturated b. curve A has a lower affinity for oxygen and more easily unloads oxygen (gives up 02) C. curve A has a lower affinity for oxygen and less easily unloads oxygen (holds on to 02) d. curve A has a lower oxygen carrying capacity e. curve A has a higher affinity for oxygen and more easily unloads oxygen (gives up O2) f. curve A has a higher affinity for oxygen and less easily unloads oxygen (holds on to 02) ОООООО
