Practice question
Question
Which among the following factors has the greatest effect on the ability of blood to transport oxygen?
Explanation
Oxygen transport depends primarily on hemoglobin concentration because each gram binds 1.34 mL oxygen, far exceeding dissolved oxygen. Temperature, pH, and solubility modestly affect affinity via Bohr effect but do not change carrying capacity like hemoglobin amount.
