Texts: Oxygen carbon dioxide transport, four carbaminohemoglobin, bicarbonate, Bohr's effect, carbonic anhydrase, oxyhemoglobin, external systemic exchange or internal respiration. 21. 70% of CO2 is transported in this form. 22. 20% of CO2 is transported in this form. 23. More than 97% of oxygen is transported in this form. 24. Number of oxygen molecules that can bind to hemoglobin. 25. States that an increase in pCO2 levels promotes O2 dissociation from Hemoglobin. 26. Carbonic acid formation is catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase inside RBCs. 27. Carbonic acid dissociates to form bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. 28. Chloride shift plays an important role in CO2 transport. 29. Gas exchange at tissues is known as external or systemic exchange. 30. An increase in acidity leads to the unbinding of oxygen from hemoglobin. 31. In internal respiration, gas exchange occurs between lungs and blood.

Which is wrong? Most carbon dioxide (CO2) is transported in the blood as bicarbonate ion Most oxygen (O2) is transported in the blood as deoxyhemoglobin Most oxygen (O2) is transported in the blood as oxyhemoglobin

Identify the correct statement with reference to of respiratory gases by blood. (a) Haemoglobin is necessary for transport of dioxide and carbonic anhydrase for transeon axygen. (b) Haemoglobin is necessary for transport of onygin act carbonic anhydrase for transport of carbon dorite (c) Only oxygen is transported by blood. (d) Only carbon dioxide is transported by blood.
