When blood pH drops even slightly, hemoglobin goes full drama queen and dumps oxygen faster than a bad date! This meme brilliantly captures the Bohr effect - where hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen plummets in acidic environments. That tiny 0.2 pH change triggers hemoglobin to literally "break up" with O₂ molecules, releasing them to oxygen-hungry tissues. Evolution's way of ensuring your muscles get extra oxygen during exercise when lactic acid builds up. Basically, your red blood cells are playing the ultimate "it's not you, it's my pH" card.
O₂ Can't Do This Relationship Anymore
