Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.
Major amount of $C{O}_2$ from the tissues is transported to the lungs in the form of hydrogencarbonates.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Carbon dioxide molecules are transported in the blood from body tissues to the lungs by one of three methods: by dissolving directly in the blood, by binding to hemoglobin, or is carried as a bicarbonate ion. The majority of carbon dioxide is transported as part of the bicarbonate buffer system. Therefore, Major amount of CO2 from the tissues is transported to the lungs in the form of hydrogen carbonates (bicarbonates). So, the correct option is 'True'.
