Question
Chapter 23.6, Problem 52AYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason due to which it is beneficial for the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve to shift to the left in the lungs and to the right in tissues.
Introduction:
Oxygen is one of the substances that are transported with the help of red blood cells. These cells have a pigment known as hemoglobin. Hemoglobin has specific sites for O2.

Why is it advantageous for the oxygen-hemoglobindissociation curve to shift to the left in the lungs and to theright in tissues?
Identify the factors that shift the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to the right?
After spending a day or more at high altitude (with an oxygen partial pressure of 75 torr), the concentration of 2,3- bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) in red blood cells increases. What effect would an increased concentration of 2,3-BPG have on the oxygen-binding curve for hemoglobin? Why would this adaptation be beneficial for functioning well at high altitude?
