Which of the following statements regarding the transport of CO2 is not true?(a) CO2 is carried by haemoglobin as carbaminohaemoglobin(b) pCO2 is high and pO2 is low in the tissues(c) In the tissues, pCO2 is high and it diffuses into blood and forms CO2 and HO2(d) Every 100 mL of deoxygenated blood delivers approximately 4 mL of CO2 to the alveoli

Answer»

Answer is : (c) In the tissues, pCO2 is high and it diffuses into blood and forms CO2 and H2O

The statement (c) is incorrect. CO2 is trapped as bicarbonates at the tissue site and is transported to the alveoli where it is released out as CO2. Carbon dioxide is immediately converted into H2CO3 after entering into the blood. This H2CO3 forms bicarbonates.

transport of h2o is not true
