• A. Decrease the affinity of haemoglobin with oxygen
• B. Release bicarbonate ions by the liver
• C. Reduce the rate of heart beat

• A. Inflammation of the trachea
• B. Accumulation of fluid in the lungs
• C. Bacterial infection of the lungs
• D. Allergic reaction of the mast cells in the lungs.

Explanation: Note: The correct option is d) Allergic reaction of the mast cells in the lungs.

• A. Falling CO2 concentration
• B. Rising CO2 and falling O2 concentration
• C. Falling O2 concentration
• D. Rising CO2 concentration

Explanation: When lungs become concentrated with the same CO2 as in blood, it no longer leaves the blood and keeps rising.

• A. Have more RBCs and their hemoglobin has a lower binding affinity to O2 .
• B. Are not physically fit to play games like football.
• C. Suffer from altitude sickness with symptoms like nausea, fatigue, etc.
• D. Have the usual RBC count but their haemoglobin has a very high binding affinity to O 2.

Explanation: After about six months at high altitude the body acclimatises: it produces more red blood cells (polycythaemia) and raises 2,3-BPG, which…

• A. Attached to haemoglobin
• B. Dissolved in the blood
• C. As Bicarbonates
• D. As Carbonates

Explanation: When systemic arterial blood flows through capillaries, carbon dioxide diffuses from the tissues into the blood.

• A. Carbohydrate
• B. Respiratory pigment
• C. Vitamin
• D. Skin pigment

Explanation: Haemoglobin (Hb) is a conjugated protein. It consists of a basic protein globin joined to a nonprotein group heme.

• A. passive transport
