The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "CO₂ combines with Hb to form:", we need to analyze the options provided and understand how carbon dioxide interacts with hemoglobin. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Hemoglobin (Hb)**: Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen (O₂) from the lungs to the rest of the body and returning carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the tissues back to the lungs. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - **Carbaminohemoglobin**: This is formed when carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin. - **Carboxyhemoglobin**: This is formed when carbon monoxide (CO) binds to hemoglobin, not carbon dioxide. - **Oxyhemoglobin**: This is formed when oxygen binds to hemoglobin. - **Methemoglobin**: This is a form of hemoglobin where iron is in the ferric state (Fe³⁺) and cannot bind oxygen. 3. **Analyzing the Interaction of CO₂ with Hb**: - When CO₂ is produced in the tissues, it diffuses into the blood and can bind to hemoglobin. This binding forms carbaminohemoglobin, which helps transport CO₂ back to the lungs for exhalation. 4. **Conclusion**: Given the definitions and interactions, the correct answer to the question is **Carbaminohemoglobin**. ### Final Answer: **CO₂ combines with Hb to form: Carbaminohemoglobin.** ---
