Question
Low concentration of oxygen in the blood and tissues of people living at high altitude is due to ______.
Options
Low temperature
Low atmospheric pressure
High atmospheric pressure
Both low temperature and high atmospheric pressure

Solution
Low concentration of oxygen in the blood and tissues of people living at high altitude is due to low atmospheric pressure.
Explanation:
At high altitudes the atmospheric pressure is decreased and due to low atmosphere pressure the solubility oxygen in blood and tissues is reduced.
