What is the explanation for how the greatest volume of oxygen is absorbed while blood flows through the lung capillaries?
- AEach haemoglobin molecule can temporarily bind to four oxygen atoms.
- BThe dissociation of carbon dioxide from carboxyhaemoglobin allows more haemoglobin to be available for binding oxygen.
- CThe binding of the first oxygen molecule to haemoglobin decreases the affinity of haemoglobin for binding other oxygen molecules.
- DOxyhaemoglobin formation increases the ability of red blood cells to transport oxygen.
