Question

Carbon monoxide a is consumed by plants for photosynthesis b is produced by plants during photosynthesis c blocks oxygen transport in human blood d is a major component of the atmosphere e causes ozone depletion

Answer 1

Answer: Option C) blocks oxygen transport in human blood

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the oxides of carbon formed when fuel is incompletely burned. It can be generated from exhaust pipe of vehicles, electric generators.

When inhaled CO attaches to the hemoglobin portion of the red blood cells, forming a bound complex called CARBOXY-HEMOGLOBIN, that is unable to transport oxygen to the body tissues.

Thus, by this mechanism Carbon monoxide blocks oxygen transport in human blood
