carbonic anhydrase
_______________
CO2 diffuses into the red blood cells and is converted to H+ and HCO3– by an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase. This HCO3– is transported back into the blood via a chloride-bicarbonate exchanger (aka anion exchanger/AE).

Answer:
enzyme carbonic anhydrase:-
(1) Most of the carbon dioxide diffusing through the capillaries and ultimately into the red blood cells combines with water via a chemical reaction catalyzed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyzes, forming carbonic acid. Carbonic acid almost immediately dissociates into a bicarbonate anion (HCO3-) and a proton.
