In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R)
(1) If both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark A
(2) If both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark B
(3) If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark C
(4) If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark D
Assertion: The link between pH and oxygen's affinity for hemoglobin gives birth to the Bohr effect.
Reason: A lower, more acidic pH encourages oxygen dissociation from hemoglobin.
A
B
C
D
Both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Another element that affects the oxygen-hemoglobin saturation/dissociation curve is the blood's pH. The link between pH and oxygen's affinity for haemoglobin gives birth to the Bohr effect, a phenomenon: The oxygenation of haemoglobin is encouraged by a lower, more acidic pH.
Option 1 is the correct answer.
