31Blood Clotting Oxygen TransportHard1 markThe graph shows the oxygen dissociation curves of haemoglobin for eight species of mammal.Key: mammals in decreasing order of size.1elephant2horse3human4sheep5fox6cat7rat8mouseWhat can be concluded from the data shown in the graph?AThe haemoglobin of larger mammals will combine with oxygen at a lower partial pressure of oxygen than that of smaller mammals.BThe haemoglobin of larger mammals will release oxygen at a higher partial pressure of oxygen than that of smaller mammals.CThe metabolic activity of the mammal is directly proportional to the ability of its haemoglobin to release oxygen.DThe size of the mammal is directly proportional to the ability of its haemoglobin to release oxygen.Grade answerSolutionGrading criteria
