Which statement below is the most accurate regarding the transport of most CO2 in the vertebrate circulatory system? CO2 is converted to bicarbonate ions by carbonic anhydrase, an enzyme in red blood cells CO2 is converted to bicarbonate ions bound to hemoglobin CO2 is simply dissolved in the plasma CO2 is bound to hemoglobin CO2 is transported in the erythrocytes as carbonic acid
