Document Summary
Co2 is very soluble in water and blood. Three things happen to co2: co2 in blood. Co2 bound to proteins referred to as: carbamino groups. Co2 influencing hemoglobin in two ways: 1. Binds to the amino groups of the hemoglobin. Through production of h+ ion, also binds with hemoglobin and it also alters the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. Co2 alters the affinity of hemoglobin for. O2 causing hemoglobin to release oxygen both because it. Leads to the production of h+ ion: which binds to hemoglobin. Rest of co2 undergoes a chemical reaction with. H2o to form carbonic acid: this dissociates quickly into bicarbonate ion and hydrogen ion, important because notice if we have an increase in co2 this reaction gets pushed to the right. As well as an increase in h+ ion in the: tissues that are metabolically active produce area.
