Revision Questions Flashcards
The Bohr Effect
oxygen dissociation curve is shifted right due to conditions in the tissues meaning more oxygen is released
The Haldane effect
As oxygen is removed from haemoglobin, haemoglobin’s ability to pick up carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide generated H+ ions is decreased
Henry’s Law
The amount of gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid at constant temperature is proportional to the partial pressure of gas in equilibrium with the liquid
