Which of the following are ways in which carbon all of the above
dioxide is transported in the blood?
3 multiple choice options
As increasing amounts of carbon dioxide enter the chloride
blood, bicarbonate ions begins to accumulate within
3 multiple choice options
the red blood cells. As the concentration gradient is
established, bicarbonate ions move out of the red
blood cells and into the blood plasma. The electrical
balance between the blood plasma and red blood
cells must be maintained; therefore, as one bicarbonate
ion moves into the plasma, so one negatively charged
ion moves into a red blood cell from the plasma. Which
ion moves into the blood cell?
