        State the different modes of transport in blood.

    Answer:

                      Carbon dioxide is carried by the blood in three forms (i) In Dissolved State Under normal temperature and pressure, about 7% of is carried by physical solution. (ii)As Carbamino Compounds  binds directly with Hb to form an unstable compound carbaminocom pounds About 23% is transported in this form. When  is high and is low as in the tissues, more binding of carbon-dioxide occurs whereas, when  is low and is high as in alveol as tissue dissociation of  from carbamino-haemoglobin takes place. (iii) As Bicarbonate Ions  reacts with water to form carbonic acid in the presence of carbonic anhydrase in RBC. dissociates into hydrogen and bicarbonate ions . The whole reaction proceeds as follows   The carbonic anhydrase reaction mainly occur in RBC as it contain high concentration of enzyme carbonic anhydrase and minute quantity of it is present in plasma too.
