Haemoglobin?

[destain]

Transport of oxygen in the body involves the complex molecules haemoglobin and oxyhaemoglobin.

haemoglobin + oxygen <---->----(double arrow thing) oxyhaemoglobin

If carbon monoxide (CO) is present in the air, poisoning can occur because...
a) the equilibrium constant K for the reaction is reduced
b) CO reacts with oxygen to form CO2, driving the equilibrium to the left
c) the equilibrium shifts to the left because haemoglobin bonds strongly with CO
d) CO catalyses the decomposition of oxyhaemoglobin into haemoglobin and oxygen


I dont know what any of these are ..

Equilibrium is covered in Unit 4. I'm assuming this is from a previous study design exam (pre-2008).
