Explain the o2-binding to hemoglobin

Reference no: EM13230977

Highly active muscle generates lactic acid by respiration so fast that the blood passing through the muscle actually experiences adrop in pH from about 7.4 to about 7.2 Under these conditions, what happens to O2-binding to hemoglobin? Explain with the help of anO2-binding curve.
