What is the Bohr shift?
a)
Oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve moves to the left, due to a decrease in muscle temperature
b)
Oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve remains consistent due to increased blood Ph and increased body temperature
c)
As more oxygen dissociates with haemoglobin the Oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve moves to the right, due to an increase in body temperature, increased CO2 and decreased pH level in the blood
