What does “Oxygen transport” actually mean in Breathing & Exchange of Gases, and why does it matter for NEET?
most oxygen is carried by haemoglobin in red blood cells as oxyhaemoglobin.
In simple words: most oxygen is carried by haemoglobin in red blood cells as oxyhaemoglobin. Getting Oxygen transport clear matters because NEET questions on Breathing & Exchange of Gases usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Oxygen transport
Common mistake
thinking oxygen mostly dissolves in the plasma.
Memory tip
only a little O₂ dissolves in plasma; haemoglobin carries the rest.
