binds t? Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide binds to _____ and reduces the body's ability to use _____ effectively in respiration. A. hemoglobin, oxygen B. oxyhemoglobin, oxygen C. hemoglobin, carbon dioxide D. oxyhemoglobin, carbon dioxide

Answer 1

Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs when a dangerous amount of carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin and reduces the body's ability to use oxygen effectively in respiration

Explanation
Hemoglobin a protein in red blood cells binds oxygen in the lung and distribute it throughout the body.However Carbon monoxide is a very aggressive molecule., it has a greater affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen, thus it displaces oxygen and quickly binds therefore very little oxygen is transported through the body cells
