O2 is carried throughout the body in blood by a protein called hemoglobin (Hb) according to the following equilibrium: Hb + 4O2 <--> Hb(O2)4. What happens in the body of a skier at high elevation? A. More O2 dissolves, resulting in less Hb(O2)4. B. More O2 dissolves, resulting in more Hb(O2)4. C. Less O2 dissolves, resulting in more Hb(O2)4. D. Less O2 dissolves, resulting in less Hb(O2)4.
