Define and describe an O2 dissociation curve. What are the effects of high temperature and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration on this curve?

The oxygen–hemoglobin dissociation curve, also called the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve or oxygen dissociation curve (ODC), is a curve that plots the proportion of hemoglobin in its saturated (oxygen-laden) form on the vertical axis against the prevailing oxygen tension on the horizontal axis. This curve is an important tool for understanding how our blood carries and releases oxygen. Specifically, the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve relates oxygen saturation (SO2) and partial pressure of oxygen in the blood (PO2), and is determined by what is called "hemoglobin affinity for oxygen"; that is, how readily hemoglobin acquires and releases oxygen molecules into the fluid that surrounds it.

Effects of high temperature 

Increase in temperature shifts the ODC to the right. If temperature is increased keeping the {displaystyle {ce __________ __________ ____ _______ __________ ____ __________ _____ ________ _________ ______ _________.
