Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a) Haemoglobin
Explanation: Hemoglobin is a pigment that has a high affinity for oxygen
Information Booster:
- Hemoglobin and myoglobin are pigments that have a high affinity for oxygen:
- Hemoglobin: A respiratory pigment found in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues. Hemoglobin's high affinity for oxygen allows it to exchange gases at the alveoli.
- Myoglobin: A pigment that stores oxygen in muscles.
- Other pigments that have an affinity for oxygen include cytochromes, which are heme proteins that participate in redox reactions.
- Factors that affect hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen include: pH, Temperature, Carbon dioxide, 2,3-BPG, and Carbon monoxide.
