Blood carries CO2 in three forms. The correct percentages of CO2 transported in these forms are
The correct option is A As carbamino haemoglobin - 20-25%
As bicarbonates - 70%
Dissolved form in plasma - 7%
Blood carries carbon dioxide in three forms. 20-25% is transported by the RBCs in the form of carbamino haemoglobin, 70% of carbon dioxide is transported in the form of bicarbonates and about 7% is transported in its dissolved state.

CO2 entering the erythrocytes reacts with water to form carbonic acid in the presence of ____(iii)_____. Carbonic acid is an intermediate step; it dissociates to form a hydrogen ion (H+) from the carbonic acid, leaving___(iv)____ dissolved in the blood.
