MCQ
Why does CO₂ dissociate from hemoglobin in alveoli?
  • A. High pCO₂ in alveoli
  • B. Low pCO₂ and high pO₂ in alveoli
  • C. pH drops in alveoli
  • D. CO₂ is converted to O₂
✅ Correct Answer: B
These conditions favor CO₂ release from carbamino-haemoglobin.
MCQ

  • A. 70%
  • B. 20–25%
  • C. 7%
  • D. 97%
✅ Correct Answer: B

MCQ
Match the Following Column I A. O₂ via RBCs B. O₂ dissolved in plasma C. CO₂ as bicarbonate D. CO₂ bound to Hb Column II 1. ~3% 2. ~97% 3. ~70% 4. ~20–25%
  • A. A–2, B–4, C–1, D–3
  • B. A–3, B–1, C–4, D–2
  • C. A–1, B–2, C–3, D–4
  • D. A–2, B–1, C–3, D–4
✅ Correct Answer: D
Oxygen and carbon dioxide transport proportions as described in NCERT.
MCQ
Assertion (A): At high pO₂ and low pCO₂, hemoglobin has a high affinity for oxygen. Reason (R): These conditions promote oxyhaemoglobin formation in alveoli.
  • A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C. A is true but R is false
  • D. A is false but R is true
✅ Correct Answer: A
In alveoli, high pO₂ and low pCO₂ favor oxygen binding with hemoglobin.
MCQ
What is the enzyme in RBCs that catalyzes CO₂ conversion to bicarbonate?
  • A. Carbonic anhydrase
  • B. Cytochrome oxidase
  • C. Hemoglobinase
  • D. ATPase
✅ Correct Answer: A
This enzyme facilitates reversible reaction of CO₂ into HCO₃⁻.
