The correct answer is "False".

Explanation:

It is false that as carbon dioxide enters systemic blood, it causes more oxygen to dissociate from hemoglobin. Once an atom of oxygen binds to hemoglobin, hemoglobin change its shape and makes easier than a second and a third atom of oxygen binds towards it. This change in conformation makes no possible that carbon dioxide can cause that oxygen dissociates from hemoglobin.
