  • Card 15 / 27:
    Explain how the CO 2 generated by cells and exhaled in the lungs is carried as bicarbonate in the blood.

    Very little of the carbon dioxide in the blood is carried dissolved in the plasma. It is transformed into carbonic acid and then into bicarbonate in order to mix in plasma for transportation to the lungs, where it reverts back to its gaseous form.
