Question

Why carbon dioxide is transported in the dissolved form in our blood as compared to oxygen?

Answer 1

Transport of carbon dioxide:​

1. ​The reason why carbon dioxide is transported in the dissolved form in our body is due to more solubility in water.
   
2. It does not generally form bonded structure with the heme residue like that of oxygen transport.
   
3. This makes it easy for its movement unlike oxygen.
4. A large volume of the carbon dioxide in dissolved form is transported to the lungs from the tissues of the body.
