Hemoglobin releases the same amount of oxygen to all the tissues regardless of variations in their metabolic rate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemoglobin releases oxygen to tissues based on their metabolic demand, meaning that tissues with higher metabolic rates will receive more oxygen. This is known as the Bohr effect, and is due to the fact that tissues with high metabolic rates produce more acid and carbon dioxide, which decrease the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and facilitate its release.
