  a. 1 and 2 only
  b. 1 and 3 only
  c. 2 only
  d. 1, 2, and 3

Question 2

  a. Describes the effect of varying enzyme levels on Hb and O2 affinity.
  b. Diminishes tissue oxygenation due to electrolyte imbalances.
  c. Enhances O2 delivery to tissues and O2 pickup at lungs.
  d. Explains the effect that O2 levels have on carbon dioxide transport.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Conversely, as body temperature rises, the curve shifts to the right, and the affinity of Hb for O2 decreases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The Bohr effect enhances O2 loading in the lungs and O2 unloading in the tissues.
