Answer Key / Explanation : (b) -
(b)
Transport of 
by blood is much easier than oxygen due to high solubility of 
. About 7% of 
is transported dissolved in plasma, 23% loosely bind with the haemoglobin and forms bicarbonates and about 70% of 
reacts with water to form carbonic acid in erythrocytes in the presence of enzyme carbonic anhydrase. The carbonic acid 
dissociates into 
and 
ions
