Which statement accurately describes the Bohr effect?
- AAs the partial pressure of carbon dioxide increases the dissociation curve becomes S-shaped (sigmoid).
- BAt higher partial pressures of carbon dioxide and equal partial pressures of oxygen, the percentage saturation of haemoglobin with oxygen will be higher.
- CThe carbon dioxide in the air prevents haemoglobin becoming fully saturated with oxygen during gas exchange in the lungs.
- DThe release of oxygen from haemoglobin is more likely at higher partial pressures of carbon dioxide.
