The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "In which of the following forms, CO₂ is not transported in the blood?", we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding CO₂ Transport**: - Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is transported in the blood in three main forms: as bicarbonate ions (HCO₃⁻), bound to hemoglobin as carbaminohemoglobin, and dissolved in plasma. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Carbaminohemoglobin**: - This is a complex formed when CO₂ binds to hemoglobin. Approximately 20-25% of CO₂ is transported in this form. Thus, this option is incorrect as CO₂ is indeed transported as carbaminohemoglobin. - **Option B: Dissolved State through Plasma**: - About 7% of CO₂ is transported in a dissolved state in the plasma. Therefore, this option is also incorrect as CO₂ is transported in this form. - **Option C: Carboxyhemoglobin**: - This term refers to the complex formed when hemoglobin binds with carbon monoxide (CO), not carbon dioxide. Therefore, this option is correct as CO₂ is not transported in the form of carboxyhemoglobin. - **Option D: Bicarbonates**: - The majority of CO₂ (about 70%) is transported in the form of bicarbonate ions. Thus, this option is incorrect as CO₂ is indeed transported as bicarbonates. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only form in which CO₂ is not transported in the blood is **Carboxyhemoglobin** (Option C). ### Final Answer: **Carboxyhemoglobin** is the form in which CO₂ is not transported in the blood. ---
