Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Figure 12-14 shows that oxyhemoglobin saturation also affects the position of the carbon dioxide dissociation curve. The influence of oxyhemoglobin saturation on carbon dioxide dissociation is called the Haldane effect.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Figure 12-14 shows that oxyhemoglobin saturation also affects the position of the CO2 dissocia-tion curve. The influence of oxyhemoglobin saturation on CO2 dissociation is called the Haldane effect. As previously explained, this phenomenon is a result of changes in the affinity of hemo-globin for CO2, which occur as a result of its buffering of H+ ions.
