What is Bohr effect? Explain?

Answer 1

@@@@@The Bohr effect@@@@


$$$$$$ is the shift to the right of the oxygen equilibrium curve of both adult and fetal blood in response to an increase in PCO2 or a decrease in pH, or both.$$$$$$$$$

Answer 2

Answer :-

In general terms, "Bohr effect" can be defined as the effect of Carbon dioxide (CO₂) on "Oxyhaemoglobin".

Explanation :-

• De-oxygenation of "Oxyhaemoglobin" is directly proportional to the percentage saturation of Carbon dioxide (CO₂) in blood.

• When under certain conditions, the percentage saturation value of haemoglobin in the blood rises, the affinity of the pigment to combine with Oxygen (O₂) will fall.

• If under certain conditions, the percentage saturation value of haemoglobin in the blood rises to "100 mm Hg" (100 mm Mercury), the person will die of Oxygen (O₂) deficiency because in this case, the pigment can neither load nor unload Oxygen (O₂).

• During 1 circulation of blood from the lungs to the tissues and back through the circulatory system, the percentage of Haemoglobin, giving up Oxygen (O₂) is 25%.
