Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin because it has a higher affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen does. This means that carbon monoxide can displace oxygen from hemoglobin, leading to a decrease in the amount of oxygen that can be transported in the blood.
Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin with a higher affinity than oxygen, forming carboxyhemoglobin. This can displace oxygen from hemoglobin, reducing the blood's ability to transport oxygen to tissues, which can lead to serious health consequences.
Carbon monoxide has a higher affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen does. This means that carbon monoxide binds more strongly to hemoglobin, reducing the ability of oxygen to bind and be transported in the blood.
This is an example of a combination reaction.
No, carboxyhemoglobin is a complex of carbon monoxide with hemoglobin, which reduces the ability of hemoglobin to carry oxygen. It can be formed when carbon monoxide is inhaled, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Asphyxiation by carbon monoxide is a physical process. Carbon monoxide competes with oxygen to bind to hemoglobin in red blood cells, preventing oxygen from being transported to tissues. This leads to oxygen deprivation, ultimately causing asphyxiation.

No. Carbon monoxide binds to the same site as oxygen, i.e. the central iron. Carbon dioxide binds to the globin molecule.
The complex that forms when carbon monoxide and hemoglobin combine is carboxyhemoglobin. This complex is formed when carbon monoxide binds to the heme group in hemoglobin with a higher affinity than oxygen, reducing the ability of hemoglobin to carry oxygen to the tissues.
Yes. Carbon monoxide combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin. This prevents the normal combination of oxygen with haemoglobin, thus depriving cells all round the body of the oxygen they need.
I'd expect this to be negligible. The molecules which do bind to haemoglobin are oxygen, carbon monoxide and nitric oxide.
Yes carbon monoxide is harmful. It is reacting with hemoglobin.
Carbon monoxide mixes with air through diffusion, which is the movement of gases from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. In the presence of oxygen, carbon monoxide can bind to hemoglobin in the blood, reducing its capacity to carry oxygen to cells in the body.
