is a major by-product of cellular metabolism.
- It is a nonpolar molecule and so it does not dissolve in the blood.
- To increase its solubility, carbonic anhydrase converts the
- Carbonic acid is a weak acid and it dissociates into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions that are soluble in blood.
- As the concentration of hydrogen ions increases in the blood, the pH becomes acidic, affecting the oxygen binding with haemoglobin.
- Hydrogen ions bind to the haemoglobin at an allosteric site and the curve shifts to the right.
