Decreased glycolytic activity impairs oxygen transport by hemoglobin due to

A
Reduced energy production
B
Decreased production of 2,3 - bisphosphoglycerate
C
Reduced synthesis of hemoglobin
D
Low levels of oxygen
High-Yield Explanation
Decreased production of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate  2, 3 DPG is produced by an alternative pathway in glycolysis. If the glycolytic activity is decreased, the levels of 2,3 - DPG in RBCs will decrease. Decreased level of 2,3 - DPG causes:- Shifts the oxygen-hemoglobin curve to the left Increases the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin.
