Question

Taut form of Haemoglobin is favoured by: (A) High partial pressure of O2 (B) High pH (C) High pCO2 (D) Low level of 2,3-BPG

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Haemoglobin exists in two forms, a taut (tense) form (T) and a relaxed form (R). Various factors such as low pH, high CO2 and high 2,3 BPG at the level of the tissues favor the taut form, which has low oxygen affinity and releases oxygen in the tissues.
