the higher percentage of co2 is transported by water of RBC as compared of plasma because the enzyme called carbonic anhydrase present in RBC and RBC transport 60 percent carbondioxide as compared to water of plasma which transport only 5 percent carbondioxide.
co2 +h2o------->h2co3
h2co3---------> hco3 +h+
hco3 +k---------khco3.
