The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding how blood carries carbon dioxide (CO₂) in three forms and the correct percentages of CO₂ in these forms, we can break down the information as follows: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Forms of CO₂ in Blood**: - Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood in three main forms: 1. As carbaminohemoglobin (bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells). 2. As bicarbonate ions (HCO₃⁻) dissolved in plasma. 3. As dissolved CO₂ in plasma. 2. **Percentage of CO₂ as Carbaminohemoglobin**: - Approximately **20% to 25%** of carbon dioxide is transported as carbaminohemoglobin in red blood cells (RBCs). This occurs when CO₂ binds to hemoglobin. 3. **Percentage of CO₂ as Bicarbonate**: - About **70%** of carbon dioxide is carried in the form of bicarbonate ions. This conversion happens primarily in red blood cells, where CO₂ reacts with water to form carbonic acid, which dissociates into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. 4. **Percentage of CO₂ Dissolved in Plasma**: - Roughly **7%** of carbon dioxide is transported in a dissolved state in the plasma. This is the form that is directly dissolved in the blood plasma. 5. **Summarizing the Percentages**: - Therefore, the correct percentages of carbon dioxide in the three forms are: - **Carbaminohemoglobin**: 20% to 25% - **Bicarbonate**: 70% - **Dissolved in Plasma**: 7% ### Final Answer: - The correct percentages of CO₂ in the three forms are: - **Carbaminohemoglobin**: 20% to 25% - **Bicarbonate**: 70% - **Dissolved in Plasma**: 7% ---
