the bohr effect

• where will the partial pressure of carbon dioxide be high and why


  contracting muscle,due to the production of co2 in the respiring tissue
• what will high partial pressure of carbon dioxide cause the conditions to become


  more acidic
• what does the higher acidity cause to happen to the haemoglobin


  it will cause it to change shape slightly and therefore causes a lower affinity for oxygen ,unloading this oxygen to the respiring tissues more readily
• which way will the graph move to during the bohr effect


  it will shift to the right
• where will high levels of co2 be produced from


  actively respiring tissues
• what will a high concentration co2 promote


  the dissociation of oxygen form oxyghaemoglobin in the red blood cells
