Question
Give any two effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Solution
- In the presence of carbon monoxide, haemoglobin readily combines to form a stable compound called carboxyhaemoglobin.
- The formation of carboxyhaemoglobin prevents the binding of oxygen with haemoglobin and less haemoglobin is available for oxygen transport depriving the cells of oxygen.
