about 23% of CO2 in blood is transported as
a. carboxyhaemoglobin
b.carbonaminohaemoglobin.
need the answer asap with explaination.
Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query
About 23% of CO2 in blood is transported as carbaminohaemoglobin, 7% is transported as dissolved gas and the remaining 70% as bicarbonate ions.
Formation of carbaminohaemoglobin: Deoxygenation of the blood favors binding of carbon dioxide to haemoglobin and formation of carbaminohaemoglobin. This binding is affected by the partial pressures of CO2 and O2. When the partial pressure of CO2 while that of O2 is low (in case of tissues), there is more binding of carbon dioxide whereas, when the partial pressure of CO2 is low while that of O2 is high (in case of alveoli), there is dissociation of CO2 from carbamino-haemoglobin.
Regards
