A Levels Biology (9700)•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.
