What is the term for the phenomenon where hemoglobin's oxygen binding affinity is influenced by the concentration of hydrogen ions?

A Haldane effect
B Bohr effect ✓
C Verigo effect
D Root effect

Explanation

The Bohr effect refers to the phenomenon where hemoglobin's oxygen binding affinity is influenced by the concentration of hydrogen ions, such that an increase in hydrogen ions (decrease in pH) reduces hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen, facilitating oxygen release to the tissues.
