(a)
Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme present in the red blood corpuscles (erythrocytes) of blood. It has a role during 
transportation in plasma. Most of 
produced by tissues diffuses passively into the blood plasma and reacts with water forming carbonic acid. This reaction occurs very rapidly inside RBCs because of the presence of enzyme carbonic anhydrase.
