← ScienceWhich consequence results when inhibiting carbonic anhydrase in erythrocytes?
A)Reduced carbon dioxide transport capacity✓
B)Increased rate of glycolysis stimulation
C)Enhanced oxygen affinity in hemoglobin
D)Elevated plasma bicarbonate concentrations
💡 Explanation
Inhibiting carbonic anhydrase decreases the rate of bicarbonate formation and proton production from carbon dioxide; therefore, `chemical equilibrium displacement` shifts away from carbon dioxide dissolution, because less bicarbonate facilitates blood transport, rather than other metabolic processes in erythrocytes.
