B

Carbonic anhydrase is present in very high concentration in RBC

C

High `pCO_(2)` and low `pO_(2)` in tissues help in binding of carbon dioxide

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the incorrect statement, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate the First Statement:** - The first statement claims that every 100 ml of deoxygenated blood delivers approximately 4 ml of carbon dioxide to the alveoli. - This statement is correct as it aligns with physiological data regarding the transport of carbon dioxide in the blood. 2. **Evaluate the Second Statement:** - The second statement states that carbonic anhydrase is present in very high concentration in red blood cells (RBCs). - This statement is also correct because carbonic anhydrase is indeed an enzyme found in high concentrations in RBCs, facilitating the conversion of CO2 to bicarbonate. 3. **Evaluate the Third Statement:** - The third statement mentions that high PCO2 and low PO2 in tissues help in the binding of CO2. - This statement is accurate; high levels of carbon dioxide (PCO2) and low levels of oxygen (PO2) in tissues promote the binding of CO2 to hemoglobin. 4. **Evaluate the Fourth Statement:** - The fourth statement claims that CO2 is carried in hemoglobin as carboxyhemoglobin. - This statement is incorrect. CO2 is actually carried as carbaminohemoglobin, not carboxyhemoglobin. Carboxyhemoglobin refers to the binding of carbon monoxide (CO) to hemoglobin. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement is the fourth one: "CO2 is carried in hemoglobin as carboxyhemoglobin." ---
