Most of the carbon dioxide is carried in the blood in the form of
Correct answer: A. Bicarbonate
- A. Bicarbonate
- B. COz
- C. Carboxyhemoglobin
- D. Blood plasma protein
Explanation
Explanation:The majority of carbon dioxide molecules are carried as part of the bicarbonate buffer system.This option is not correct. Only a small amount of carbon dioxide is carried in the blood in its gaseous form.Carboxyhaemoglobin is a compound formed by the binding of carbon monoxide to haemoglobin. It is not involved in the transport of carbon dioxide in the blood. Blood plasma proteins do not play a significant role in the transport of carbon dioxide in the blood.

About Human Respiratory System
The human respiratory system conducts air to the alveoli, where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange occurs across thin respiratory surfaces. Questions cover the nasal passage, trachea, bronchi, lungs, diaphragm and intercostal muscles, ventilation mechanics and gas transport, while distinguishing breathing and gaseous exchange from cellular respiration.
