How much pO 2 would it take in an extremely CO 2 -rich environment to saturate hemoglobin

Question:

How much pO2 would it take in an extremely CO2-rich environment to saturate hemoglobin 90 percent?
(A) 15
(B) 30
(C) 45
(D) 60


The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is reduced by many factors, including low pH and high CO2. The graph below shows the different dissociation curves that maternal (normal) hemoglobin and fetal hemoglobin have.Percent Saturation of Hemoglobin 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 Fetal Maternal 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90
