Binding of oxygen to haemoglobin reduces its affinity for carbon dioxide, which is known as

A
Haldane effect
B
Chloride shift
C
Bohr effect
D
Anion exchanger 1
High-Yield Explanation
Increase in carbon dioxide in the blood causes oxygento be displaced from the hemoglobin (the Bohr effect). The reverse is also true: binding of oxygen with hemoglobin tends to displace carbon dioxidefrom the blood. Indeed, this effect, called the Haldane effect, Ref: Guyton & Hall: Textbook of Medical Physiology page no:946
