What is the term for the phenomenon where hemoglobin releases oxygen more readily in tissues with high metabolic activity, due to the presence of certain organic phosphates?
Explanation
The Garby-Kuhn effect refers to the increased release of oxygen from hemoglobin in the presence of certain organic phosphates, such as 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate, which are found in higher concentrations in tissues with high metabolic activity.
