Answer 1

answer is 4....it's a complete the active site for oxygen binding and reduce oxygen delivery to the tissue

Answer 2

the answer is 4 th option...

because Carbon monoxide is more soluble in blood than oxygen or Carbon dioxide...
actually... CO binds to the protein in haemoglobin and can change and reduces it's further binding capacity of O2 with haemoglobin by forming
DEOXY-HAEMOGLOBIN

and as a result of which O2 cannot be transported to tissues and CO2 cannot be removed from tissue. as the haemoglobin are already occupied by CO...
