Document Summary
Mbb222 exam vocab definitions: heterotropic modulators for hemoglobin and. These include h+ and co2, which are carried by hemoglobin from the tissues. U9-04 first carbon dioxide (co2) vs. bicarbonate (hco3 to the lungs and the kidneys, where they are excreted oxidation of organic fuels in. Carbon dioxide is produced by the mitochondria (cellular respiration) It is hydrated to form bicarbonate as carbon dioxide is not soluble in aqueous solution and co2 bubbles would form in the tissues and blood if it were not converted into bicarbonate. The effect of ph and co2 concentration on the binding and release of oxygen. The binding of h+ and co2 is inversely related to the binding of oxygen. At relatively low ph (high h+ concentration) and high co2 concentration of peripheral tissues, the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen decreases. This is opposite in the lungs where the ph rises and co2 is excreted causing the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen to increase.
