For each scenario, predict whether the hemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve will shift to the left or right: (1 pt each) Remember that a left shift is an increased affinity of hemoglobin to oxygen, and a right shift is a decreased affinity of hemoglobin to oxygen. 17. Elevated carbon monoxide (CO) from cigarette smoking in normal adult hemoglobin (HbA₁) 18. Patient with anemia and normal adult hemoglobin (HbA₁) 19. Presence of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in a newborn 20. Mountain biking at higher altitude and normal adult hemoglobin (HbA₁)
