← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when carbon monoxide binds hemoglobin?
A)Reduced oxygen carrying capacity ensues✓
B)Enhanced carbon dioxide transport results
C)Increased hemoglobin synthesis accelerates
D)Improved cellular respiration progresses
💡 Explanation
Carboxyhemoglobin forms because carbon monoxide binds tightly via **coordinate covalent bonding**, preventing oxygen binding; therefore, oxygen transport decreases drastically rather than enhancing CO2 transport or hemoglobin synthesis, processes related but independent.
