A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/13/O/N/22

Explanation
Haemoglobinic Acid Formation Basics Steps:
- Identify haemoglobinic acid as the product when carbon dioxide reacts with hemoglobin in blood, forming carbaminohemoglobin.
- Evaluate statement 1: Correct, as it involves CO2 binding to amino groups on hemoglobin.
- Evaluate statement 2: Correct, as this reaction occurs in tissues with high CO2 levels, aiding transport.
- Evaluate statement 3: Incorrect, as it does not require oxygen displacement; both can coexist.
Why B is correct:
- B selects statements 1 and 2, matching the accurate description of CO2-hemoglobin binding per blood chemistry principles.
Why the others are wrong:
- A includes incorrect statement 3.
- C omits correct statement 2.
- D includes incorrect statement 3 and omits correct statement 1.
Final answer: B
Topic: Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide
