A) plasma
B) bicarbonate ion
C) carbaminohaemoglobin
D) None of the above
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Transport of carbon dioxide by blood is much easier than that of oxygen due to high solubility of \[C{{O}_{2}}\], in water. 7% of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] is dissolved in plasma, 23% as carbaminohaemoglobin and 70% as bicarbonates. Major fraction of carbon dioxide released during cellular respiration is transported by blood in the form of sodium bicarbonate in plasma.You need to login to perform this action.
