Statement 1: Oxyhaemoglobin releases molecular oxygen in the tissues.
Statement 2: Oxyhaemoglobin after release of oxygen collects carbon dioxide from the tissues and leads to formation of carbamino- hemoglobin.
Statement 1 is true and 2 is false
Statement 1 is false and 2 is true.
Both statements are true.
Both statements are false.
Oxygen is transported to the tissues in the form of oxyhaemoglobin ( about 97%). In the tissues oxygen gets dissociated from oxyhemoglobin and due to high partial pressure of CO2 in tissues, hemoglobin binds to CO2 and thus forms carbamino- hemoglobin. About 25% of CO2 is transported in bind form to hemoglobin.
Option c is the correct answer.
