CO 2 + H 2 0H 2 CO 3 Carbonic Acid Low CO 2 High pH High CO 2 Low pH Bohr Effect
39
Tissues have a lower pH than the gills At lower pH, oxygen does not bind as strongly to Hb (lower affinity) Therefore, oxygen falls off even faster Hb O OO O
40
Hemoglobin in High and Low Oxygen/pH Hb High Oxygen & pH Low Oxygen & pH Hb 423
42
Oxygen dumped from Hb into tissues because… Oxygen concentration in tissues is lower so when oxygen falls off Hb it takes a long time to be replaced The Bohr effect in tissues makes oxygen fall of easier there than it does in the gills The net effect is that each Hb in the gills is usually bound to 4 oxygen molecules while Hb in the tissues is bound to only 2 This, 2 oxygen molecules are dropped off by each Hb

Quizzzzz Basic gill anatomy; label the parts Pillar cells and thin epithelium are critical! Countercurrent exchange How hemoglobin works –Oxygens drop off at low concentration –Bohr
