When Carbon Dioxide is Bound to Hemoglobin It is Termed

Question

When carbon dioxide is bound to hemoglobin it is termed
A) carbaminohemoglobin.
B) deoxyhemoglobin.
C) oxyhemoglobin.
D) hemolyzed.
E) sickle hemoglobin.

Accepted Answer

When carbon dioxide is bound to hemoglobin, it forms carbaminohemoglobin. Deoxyhemoglobin refers to hemoglobin that is not bound to oxygen. Oxyhemoglobin refers to hemoglobin that is bound to oxygen. Hemolyzed refers to the destruction of red blood cells, not specifically related to carbon dioxide binding. Sickle hemoglobin refers to a mutated form of hemoglobin that causes red blood cells to have a sickle shape, not related to carbon dioxide binding.
