TRANSPORT OF CARBON DIOXIDE

Exchange Of Gases At The Alveolus And The Body Tissues With Blood And Transport Of Oxygen And Carbon Dioxide

Consider the following statements regarding carbon dioxide transport. About 7% of CO_2 is transported as dissolved in plasma, 23% as carbaminohemoglobin and 70% as bicarbonates. The CO_2 dissolves in plasma forms carbonic anhydrase. The concentration of carbonic acid remains constant due to potassium. Choose the correct option.

Assertion (A): Carbon dioxide turns lime water milky. Reason (R ): Carbon dioxide sullies the water.

From Grignard Reagents And Carbon Dioxide

Assertion : Carbonic anhydrase is present in the erythrocytes. Reason : In erythrocytes the carbon dioxide combine with water and is transported.

The major fraction of CO_(2) released during cellular respiration is transported by the blood to the lung capillaries " " Or Approximately seventy percent of carbon-dioxide absorbed by the blood will be transported to the lungs
