    When \[C{{O}_{2}}\] concentration in blood increases, breathing becomes

    A)  shallower and slow

    B)  there is no effect on breathing

    C)   slow and deep

    D)  faster and deeper

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    When \[C{{O}_{2}}\]concentration in blood increases, breathing becomes faster and deeper. The effect of increased \[C{{O}_{2}}\]is to decrease the affinity of haemoglobin for \[{{O}_{2}}.\]Thus due to Bohr?s effect the \[C{{O}_{2}}\] released in respiring tissue accelerates the delivery of oxygen by faster and deeper breathing.
