Haemoglobin (Hb) forms bond with oxygen and given oxyhaemoglobin (HbO2). This process is partially regulated by the concentration of H3O+ and dissolved CO2 in blood as HbO2 +H3O+ + CO2 ⇌ H+ – Hb – CO2 + O2 + H2O. If there is production of lactic acid and CO2 during a muscular exercise, then
A. more HbO2 is formed
B. more O2 is released
C. CO2 is released
D. both (b) and (c)
