binds t? Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide binds to _____ and reduces the body's ability to use _____ effectively in respiration. A. hemoglobin, oxygen B. oxyhemoglobin, oxygen C. hemoglobin, carbon dioxide D. oxyhemoglobin, carbon dioxide

Respuesta :

Carbon  monoxide  poisoning  occurs  when a dangerous amount of  carbon monoxide  binds to  hemoglobin and  reduces the  body's  ability  to use  oxygen  effectively in respiration

       Explanation
Hemoglobin   a protein in red blood  cells  binds   oxygen in the  lung and distribute  it  throughout  the  body.However  Carbon monoxide  is a very aggressive  molecule., it  has  a greater affinity  for hemoglobin  than   oxygen, thus it  displaces oxygen and quickly   binds therefore  very  little  oxygen  is transported through  the body  cells
