Question

When carbon dioxide is bound to hemoglobin it is termed

A) carbaminohemoglobin.
B) deoxyhemoglobin.
C) oxyhemoglobin.
D) hemolyzed.
E) sickle hemoglobin.

Answer 1

When carbon dioxide is bound to hemoglobin, it is termed carbaminohemoglobin. Hemoglobin binds to carbon dioxide in the tissues, and carbon dioxide attaches to the amino acids in hemoglobin to form carbaminohemoglobin.

Step-by-step explanation:

When carbon dioxide is bound to hemoglobin, it is termed carbaminohemoglobin. Hemoglobin binds to carbon dioxide in the tissues, and carbon dioxide attaches to the amino acids in hemoglobin to form carbaminohemoglobin. This reversible reaction occurs when oxygen is released from hemoglobin. Carbaminohemoglobin is one of the ways carbon dioxide is carried in the blood.
