Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As carbon dioxide from the tissue enter into blood, a small quantiy of about 45% enters into RBCs. In the RBCs , carbondioxide combines with haemoglobin and forms carbamino-haemoglobin. The carbamino-haemoglobin on reaching the lungs dissociates into haemoglobin, and carbon dioxide.
