Question

Which set of factors can move the oxygen dissociation curve towards the right?

• A. High Temperature and High pH
• B. Low $pO_{2}$ and Low pH
• C. High $pO_{2}$ and Low pH
• D. Low $pCO_{2}$ and High pH

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

According to Bohr's effect, the factors which favours the dissociation of oxyhaemoglobin to release oxygen at the tissue level and to shift the ODC into right side are: Low $pO_{2}$ , High $pCO_{2}$ , High $H^{+}$ (Low $pH$ ) and High Temperature.
