Q. No.

Humans are not able to survive for long periods at very high altitudes primarily because:

1. The oxygen content is very low with respect of that found at sea level.
2. The carbon dioxide is much more than that found at sea level.
3. The partial pressure of oxygen is very low than that found at sea level.
4. The atmospheric pressure is much higher than that found at sea level, which makes the amount of oxygen available one-fourth that found at sea level.

When a man inhales air containing normal concentration of O2 as well as CO he suffers from suffocation because

1. CO reacts with O2, reducing its percentage in air
2. haemoglobin combines with CO instead of O2 and forms carboxyhaemoglobin
3. CO affects diaphragm and intercostal muscles
4. CO affects the nerves of the lungs

Given below are two statements: 

Assertion (A): Nitric oxide transport by hemoglobin to peripheral tissues is hypothesized to assist oxygen transport in tissues.
Reason (R): Nitric oxide can also be transported by hemoglobin bound to specific thiol groups in the globin protein.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is true but (R) is false.
4. Both (A) and (R) are false.
