Question

Which of the following correctly describes mechanisms of CO transport?
• 20% of CO2 is dissolved directly into the plasma.
• Carbonic anhydrase converts 02 to CO2.
Carbonic anhydrase is responsible for bonding CO2 to hemoglobin.

• 7-8% of CO2 is carried in the form of carbaminohemoglobin.

Answer 1
