Carbon dioxide (CO2) is transported in the blood primarily through three methods:
- Dissolved in Plasma: About 7-10% of CO2 is transported dissolved directly in the plasma.
- Bicarbonate Ions: Approximately 70% of CO2 is converted to bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) in red blood cells, which then enter the plasma.
- Carbamino Compounds: Around 20-23% of CO2 binds to hemoglobin and other proteins, forming carbamino compounds.

How is most carbon dioxide transported in?
Carbon dioxide does not transport oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a molecular compound in which each molecule contains one carbon atom covalently bonded to two oxygen atoms by the sharing of electrons. Hemoglobin, a protein molecule that contains iron ions, is the molecule that transports oxygen. The oxygen combines with the iron in the hemoglobin.
What gases are exchanged in respiration?
There are 5 parts involved in respiration:1. Pulmonary ventilation or breathing.2. External respiration where air flows into the lungs and gases exchange (O2 load/ CO2 unload) and air goes out.3. Transport of respiratory gases by way of blood transport from the lungs to body cells and back to lungs.4. Internal respiration is where exchange of gases occurs at the body capillaries (O2 unload/CO2 load).5. Cellular respiration which is the use of oxygen by cells to produce energy (production of CO2).

What are the 3 methods of passive transport?
The three methods of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis. Simple diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion uses carrier proteins to help larger or charged molecules move across the membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is blood made up of and what is its functions?
1. Red blood cells (transport of oxygen). 2. Plasma (the liquid part of the blood). 3. White blood cells (fight and prevent diseases). 4. Platelets (clot blood if skin is broken).
How is oxygen and carbon dioxide transported in humans?
O2 and Co2 are transported throughout human body by blood. 97% of O2 combines with haemoglobin of RBCs to form oxyhaemoglobin within the lungs. The oxyhaemoglobin then gives out O2 to all the cells. The remaining 3% gets dissolved in blood plasma. 70% of CO2 gets dissolved in blood plasma to reach the lungs from the tissues. The remaining contents of Co2 then combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin to reach the lungs from the tissues.
Five functions of the peripheral circulation?
1.CARRY BLOOD PRESSURE 2.EXCHANGE NUTRIENTS,WASTE PRODUCTS and GASES 3.TRANSPORT 4.REGULATE BLOOD PRESSURE 5.DIRECT BLOOD FLOW
What is the proccess of the respiration of a plant?
1-Glycolysis 2-pyruvate oxidation 3-krebs cycle 4- electron transport chain or It is converting of organic materials that are prodced by photosynthesis in plant to CO2&H2O
Describe 3 methods of assessment of the respiratory system?
blood gas analysis, chest x-ray and lung function test
What is the name of the oxanion CO2?
You think probable to the anion carbonate - CO2-3.
What are the 3 methods of the cell membrane process?
If you're asking three ways particles cross the cell membrane it's through: (1) Simple diffusion,(2) Facilitated diffusion,(3) Active transport.
What are the 3 components in donated blood?
The three main components in donated blood are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Plasma, which is the liquid portion of blood, is also an important component that helps transport these cells throughout the body.
