Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Bicarbonate ions which are formed inside the RBC diffuse from RBC into the plasma. To maintain the onic balance `CI^(-)` ions move from plasma into RBCs. This ionic exchange is call chioride shift or Hamburger s phenomenon.

Chloride shift is required for `CO_(2)` transport.
