Why CO₂ is transported in the dissolved form in our blood as compared to oxygen?

Answers

Answered by DavidOtunga

The CO2 component is transported via the dissolved or mixed form in haemoglobin as carbaminohaemoglobin (Hb CO2) it is a reversible reaction and an unstable compound. As of which it is highly soluble (one more factor) and about 7% of carbon dioxide gets dissolved into blood plasma and is carried in solution to the lungs. Thus a larger vllolume of CO2 is being dissolved and transported than oxygen.
