what is the most common method of carbon dioxide transport?
*Oxygen is Transported in the Blood in Two Ways. -Most always when oxygen is transported, it attaches to hemoglobin molecules. This happens inside of the red blood cells, and forms oxyhemoglobin. -A very small amount of oxygen is dissolved and then carried in the plasma. *Transportation of Carbon Dioxide. -Most carbon dioxide is transported in the blood as a bicarbonate ion. -About 20-30% of transported CO2 is carried inside the red blood cells that are bound to hemoglobin. -Carbon dioxide carried in the RBC's (red blood cells) bind to hemoglobin at a different site than oxygen does.
