    In blood, \[C{{O}_{2}}\]in transported majorly as

    A)  sodium carbonate

    B)  carboxyhaemoglobin

    C)  bicarbonate

    D)  \[C{{O}_{2}}\]as such

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     In dissolved state 7% of CO 2 gets dissolved in the blood plasma and is carried in solution to lungs or about 0.3 mL of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] is transported per 100 mL of blood in dissolved state in blood plasma. In the form of bicarbonate about 70% of \[C{{O}_{2}}\](about 2.5 mL per 100 mL of  blood received by blood from tissues, enters the RBCs where it reacts with water to form carbonic acid \[({{H}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}).\] As carbaminohaemoglobin About 23% of \[C{{O}_{2}}\] is transported in combination with haemoglobin and plasma protein. \[C{{O}_{2}}\] reacts directly with amine radicals \[(N{{H}_{2}})\]of haemoglobin to form an unstable compound carbamino haemoglobin \[\text{Hb(C}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}\text{)}\]Sodium bicarbonate acts as buffer of blood.
