Question

blood has higher affinity for _______ than oxygen and this combines with haemoglobin to form _______​

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

While carbon dioxide can readily associate and dissociate from hemoglobin, other molecules such as carbon monoxide (CO) cannot. Carbon monoxide has a greater affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen. Therefore, when carbon monoxide is present, it binds to hemoglobin preferentially over oxygen.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide doesn't compete with oxygen in this binding process...It has greater affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen does..It displaces oxygen and quickly binds,so very little oxygen is transported through the body cells..
