Real marking example
Explain the Bohr effect · 6 marks
gives oxygen to the cells. The curve moves to the right
which means less oxygen sticks to the haemoglobin so it
gets used by respiring tissue.
- shifts dissociation curve right — credited (idea correct, examiner phrase missing).
- Linked CO₂ rise to oxygen release to respiring tissues.
- Missed: lower pH and reduced haemoglobin affinity for O₂ — these are mark scheme keywords.
- No mention of the benefit during exercise (application mark).
