Which process is disrupted when excess molecular oxygen prevents hemoglobin function?

💡 Explanation

Excess oxygen shifts the hemoglobin equilibrium, favoring oxygen saturation levels beyond optimum; cooperative binding, where oxygen binding affinity changes, fails because of over-saturation. Therefore hemoglobin's regulated oxygen release fails, rather than enzyme inhibition.
