How do rising blood co2 levels promote the deoxygenated conformation of hemoglobin?

Answer:
Since carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid, an increase in CO2 results in a decrease in blood pH, resulting in hemoglobin proteins releasing their load of oxygen. Conversely, a decrease in carbon dioxide provokes an increase in pH, which results in hemoglobin picking up more oxygen

Transport of Blood
Explanation:
- Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid, an expansion in CO2 brings about an abatement in blood pH, bringing about hemoglobin proteins discharging their load of oxygen
- Alternately, a diminishing in carbon dioxide incites an expansion in pH, which brings about hemoglobin getting more oxygen
- Carbon dioxide can tie to plasma proteins or can enter red platelets and bind to hemoglobin
