AIIMS 2018 Zoology Biology MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
CO2 combines with Hb to form:
A
Carbaminohaemoglobin
B
Carboxyhaemoglobin
C
Oxyhaemoglobin
D
Methhaemoglobin
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The correct answer is A) Carbaminohaemoglobin because carbon dioxide (CO2) binds to hemoglobin (Hb) primarily at the amino groups of the protein, forming carbamino compounds. This process facilitates CO2 transport from tissues to the lungs, where it is released. In contrast, carboxyhaemoglobin (B) refers to hemoglobin bound to carbon monoxide (CO), while oxyhaemoglobin (C) is hemoglobin bound to oxygen, and methhaemoglobin (D) is an oxidized form of hemoglobin.
