What does “Carbon dioxide transport” actually mean in Breathing & Exchange of Gases, and why does it matter for NEET?
most CO₂ travels in the blood as bicarbonate ions.
In simple words: most CO₂ travels in the blood as bicarbonate ions. Getting Carbon dioxide transport clear matters because NEET questions on Breathing & Exchange of Gases usually test this idea directly, not just a formula you memorised.
Key point
Carbon dioxide transport
Common mistake
thinking CO₂ is carried mainly by haemoglobin like oxygen.
Memory tip
CO₂ is mostly bicarbonate; only a fraction rides on haemoglobin.
