When matter is subjected to the conditions necessary to create plasma it disrupts molecular bonds. Since CO2 has oxygen atoms bonded to the carbon, when it is ionized into plasma, the bonds will be disrupted and the plasma will contain separate carbon and oxygen atoms. A very small fraction of the CO2 might persist as molecular ions but most of them would be CO ions, not the full CO2.

What carries gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried by the bloodstream. Oxygen is primarily transported by red blood cells through hemoglobin, while carbon dioxide is transported in the form of bicarbonate ion.
How is the movement of oxygen in the body similar to and different to the movement of carbon dioxide?
Both oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported in the blood. Oxygen is carried by hemoglobin in red blood cells, while carbon dioxide is mainly transported as bicarbonate in plasma. However, the mechanisms of their diffusion and release in tissues and exchange in the lungs differ, with oxygen diffusing from alveoli into the blood and carbon dioxide diffusing from tissues into the blood.
How do you get the same amount of oxygen to dissolve in plasma as carbon dioxide you would have to?
To get the same amount of oxygen to dissolve in plasma as carbon dioxide, you would need to increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the gas phase. This increase in pressure would drive more oxygen molecules to dissolve into the plasma to reach equilibrium with the gas phase. The solubility of a gas in a liquid is determined by Henry's Law, which states that the amount of gas dissolved is directly proportional to its partial pressure in the gas phase.
What transports oxygen and carrys away some carbon dioxide?
plasma
Where are carbon dioxide and oxygen found in our environment?
At room temperature carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas; of course this gas can be liquefied or solidified. At room temperature oxygen (O) is a gas; of course this gas can be liquefied or solidified. Oxygen has a diatomic molecule, O2. An allotropic form is ozone, O3. All gases exist also in cylinders, as compressed gases, under high pressure. Also the purity is variable, depending on the scope of use.
Is CO2 more soluble in plasma and alveolar fluis than the oxygen?
No, oxygen is more soluble in plasma and alveolar fluid than carbon dioxide. However, carbon dioxide is transported in the blood more efficiently as bicarbonate ions and dissolved carbon dioxide, rather than in its gaseous form like oxygen.
Why carbon dioxide can not mix in blood?
Carbon dioxide is highly soluble in water and blood plasma. 900 ml/ liter carbon dioxide is soluble in water as against 4 ml/ liter of Oxygen. So this question would have been about oxygen instead of carbon dioxide.
Does the CNS respiration center analyze oxygen levels of blood?
Oxygen is very sparingly soluble. Carbon dioxide is highly soluble in water or plasma. The respiratory center is stimulated by high level of the carbon dioxide. The respiratory center probably does not analyse the oxygen level.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide move easily through most areas of cell membranes because they are soluble in what?
Plasma?
Do oxygen and carbon dioxide readily dissolve in plasma?
Yes, both oxygen and carbon dioxide readily dissolve in plasma due to their small molecular sizes and solubility in water. This allows for efficient gas exchange in the lungs and tissues during respiration.
Name two gases found in plasma?
The carbon dioxide and oxygen are the two main gases in plasma. When blood travels to the lungs the concentration of these two gases changes.
Why is an increase in carbon dioxide and not the decrease in oxygen in blood a powerful respiratory stimulant?
Yes. It is so. Deficiency of oxygen do not have as powerful stimulus for breathing. Carbon bi oxide is very much soluble in plasma water. In normal temperature and pressure about 900 mi of carbon bi oxide is soluble in water. Oxygen is sparingly soluble. Only about 4 ml/liter of oxygen is dissolved in water. So the respiratory center would recognize slight change in concentration of carbon bi oxide as it changes the pH of plasma also. As it is soluble in plasma it can readily enter the respiratory center cells and stimulate the center. Increase in carbon bi oxide and decrease in oxygen go hand in hand. The volume of oxygen consumed is exactly equal to the carbon bi oxide. So Nature has selected more than 200 times soluble carbon bi oxide as aindicatoras against sparingly soluble oxygen.
Through what structure does water oxygen and carbon dioxide can enter a cell?
Water, carbon dioxide and oxygen can enter a cell through the plasma membrane.
What gases are found in blood plasma?
All gases are soluble to some extent in blood plasma, so even oxygen which is bound by hemoglobin in the red cells is present. More commonly there is nitrogen, the predominant gas in the atmosphere. This is the cause of the bends when a sudden decrease in pressure causes nitrogen to bubble out of the plasma (similar to the way C02 bubbles out of soda when you open the bottle).
Gas is carried mostly by the plasma?
Gas is carried mostly by the plasma in the blood. The plasma contains dissolved gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, which are transported to different parts of the body. Oxygen is transported from the lungs to the tissues, while carbon dioxide is carried from the tissues back to the lungs for elimination.
Three kinds of materials that are carried in plasma?
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and food
What process does oxygen and carbon dioxide use to cross the plasma membrane?
diffusion
