A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/13/M/J/20
Question 31 from 9700/13/M/J/20

Explanation

Bohr effect on hemoglobin oxygen affinity Steps:

  • The Bohr effect states that higher CO2 partial pressure shifts the oxygen dissociation curve rightward, reducing hemoglobin's oxygen affinity.
  • Without the graph, curve positions (W vs. X) cannot be determined to evaluate shifts.
  • Statements 1 and 2 depend on which curve is right-shifted (higher CO2).
  • Statements 3 and 4 depend on which curve shows higher saturation at 70 kPa (higher affinity).

Why B is correct:

  • Not enough information.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: Graph absent, cannot confirm 1 and 3.
  • C: Graph absent, cannot confirm 2 and 3.
  • D: Graph absent, cannot confirm 2 and 4.

Final answer: Not enough information.

Topic: Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide
