hemoglobin (oxyhemoglobin [HbO2])
• A small amount is carried dissolved in
the plasma

A

Oxygen transport in the blood

79
Q

• Most is transported in the plasma as
bicarbonate ion (HCO3–)

blood cells on hemoglobin, but at different binding sites than those of oxygen

A

Carbon dioxide transport in the blood

80
Q

Exchange of gases between blood and body cell

A

INTERNAL RESPIRATION

81
Q

An opposite reaction to what occurs in the lungs:
