Every 100 mL of deoxygentated blood delivers approximately 4 mL of `CO_(2)` to the alveoli.

B

Carbonic anhydrase is present in very high concentration in RBC.

C

High `p_(CO_(2)) and ` low `p_(O_(2))` in tissue help in the binding of carbon dioxide.

D

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the incorrect statement regarding the respiratory system and gas exchange, we will analyze each of the provided options step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Context**: - The question asks us to identify the incorrect statement related to the respiratory system and gas exchange. We need to evaluate each statement carefully. 2. **Analyzing the First Statement**: - **Statement**: "Every 100 ml of deoxygenated blood delivers approximately 4 ml CO2 to the alveoli." - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct. Deoxygenated blood does deliver about 4 ml of carbon dioxide to the alveoli for exhalation. 3. **Analyzing the Second Statement**: - **Statement**: "Carbonic anhydrase is present in high concentration in RBC." - **Evaluation**: This statement is also correct. Carbonic anhydrase is indeed found in high concentrations in red blood cells (RBCs) and plays a crucial role in the transport of carbon dioxide. 4. **Analyzing the Third Statement**: - **Statement**: "High pCO2 and low pO2 in tissue help in binding of carbon dioxide." - **Evaluation**: This statement is correct as well. In tissues, the high concentration of carbon dioxide (pCO2) and low concentration of oxygen (pO2) facilitate the binding of carbon dioxide to hemoglobin. 5. **Analyzing the Fourth Statement**: - **Statement**: "CO2 is carried in hemoglobin as carboxyhemoglobin." - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. The correct term for carbon dioxide bound to hemoglobin is "carbaminohemoglobin." Carboxyhemoglobin refers to hemoglobin bound to carbon monoxide, which is harmful. 6. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect statement is the fourth one, which incorrectly identifies the form in which CO2 is carried in hemoglobin. ### Final Answer: - The incorrect statement is: **"CO2 is carried in hemoglobin as carboxyhemoglobin."** ---
